The Interactive Media Awards™ (IMA) has named Hawaii
Information Consortium (eHawaii.gov) as a Best in Class winner
in the Government category for its work in partnership with the
Office of the City Clerk, City and County of Honolulu, on the
Online Absentee Ballot Delivery system. The coveted award is the
highest honor bestowed by IMA and represents the very best in
planning, execution, and overall professionalism.
The Online Absentee Ballot Delivery system was created to help
citizens and government alike. The system makes it easy for Hawaii
citizens and military living overseas to have their voice heard in
the election process by letting them securely download their
absentee ballot, eliminating the need for postal delivery. For
administrators, the system helps election staff easily fulfill
absentee voter ballot requests from overseas voters that are faced
with unique time constraints and postal delivery challenges. The
process is simple and efficient – election officials can upload
ballots, secrecy waivers, and other documents, and voters are
notified when the documents are available.
Technical features include the ability for the election
officials to upload zipped ballot files that are automatically
unzipped, so given challenges such as uploading over 100 ballot
styles, only a few zip file uploads are required. There is an
automatic compilation and personalization of voting documents into
a unique, single PDF in a background process for delivery to the
voter.
The intuitive interface has virtually eliminated questions from
both election administrators and voters and utilizes responsive web
design, displaying an optimal screen view whether the voter visits
the page on their desktop, smart phone or any other device.
The Office of the City Clerk, City and County of Honolulu’s
service was created in partnership with Hawaii Information
Consortium, LLC, the official Internet portal manager of
eHawaii.gov.
