The Addmen Election Ballot Sample page offers ready-to-use, OMR-compatible ballot paper templates for organizations, institutions, and associations. These sample ballot sheets simplify the process of elections and polls by combining the familiarity of paper ballots with the speed and accuracy of OMR-based processing.
Easy to print & distribute: Ballot papers can be printed widely using standard printers.
Secure and anonymous voting: The ballot sheets use bubbles or checkboxes for marking — avoiding writing names and preserving voter anonymity.
Fast and error-free vote counting: Once voting is complete, all sheets can be scanned using any flatbed or ADF scanner. The OMR software reads the ballots, counts votes accurately, and generates results automatically — eliminating manual counting errors and delays.
Flexible ballot design: Supports single‑post or multi‑post elections (e.g. President, Secretary, multiple board positions) — all on a single ballot sheet.
Download or view the ballot sample template from the Addmen website.
Print the ballots using any normal printer.
Distribute ballots to voters. They mark their vote by filling the bubble or checkbox next to their chosen candidate.
Collect all filled ballots and scan them using a standard scanner.
Use Addmen’s OMR reading software to read scanned sheets and process results. The software counts votes, flags invalid ballots (if marking rules are violated), and generates a final result report in Excel, PDF, or Access format.
This process is ideal for organizational elections, associations, clubs, university student union polls — anywhere anonymity, accuracy and speed are required without investing in expensive electronic voting machines.
Always use the correct ballot template with index points and OMR‑compatible layout to ensure accurate reading by the OMR software.
Print using standard printers — no special printing hardware is required.
Ensure voters mark only one bubble/checkbox per post (unless multiple selections are allowed), to avoid invalid ballots.
After scanning, retain the physical ballot sheets as a hard-copy audit trail — an advantage over purely electronic voting systems.
