Data is obtained using the State Election Information Management
System (SEIMS), which is a suite of applications that automates
voter registration and simplifies the administration of voter
records. The suite contains a set of functions used for
local processing in the counties. These functions include
registering voters, verifying addresses, recording voter's
history, mailing absentee ballots, administering polling places
and others. The second is support for statewide functions,
which are based on a central statewide database containing the
voter registration and voter history data from all the counties
in the state.
SEIMS is a client/server application that replicates data to the
statewide voter registration database. It links all 100
counties electronically to facilitate the exchange of
information not only on election night, but also for voter
registration reports, maintenance and elections management.
The central database is used to perform cross county duplicate
checking and to validate and distribute reports of deaths to the
counties. |
