NABPS has released its first major resource document: a comprehensive 50-page guide to ballot security best practices. The guide is available for free download from the NABPS website and covers every aspect of ballot production security.
Topics include: - Facility access control and surveillance - Personnel background checks and security clearances - Digital security for ballot files and databases - Physical security during production and storage - Secure transportation protocols - Incident detection and response procedures
"This guide represents collective wisdom from decades of ballot printing experience," said Brad Moorhouse, Senior Operations Manager at K&H Integrated Print Solutions. "We're sharing knowledge that has traditionally been proprietary because election security is bigger than any one company."
The guide is designed for both ballot printers seeking to improve their security posture and election officials wanting to understand security requirements for their vendors. NABPS plans to release additional guides covering quality control, chain of custody, and audit procedures.
