Appendix B:
Sample Florida Ballots from the 2000 Election

Intent of the Voter web pages
by Douglas W. Jones

The optical mark-sense ballot images here were collected from the web sites of the various Florida counties. Not all counties have made ballot images available, and it is highly likely that many of these ballot images will dissapear from the official county web sites as time passes.

Some of these images are obviously scans of real ballots, some are exact facsimilies of the ballot prior to sending to the printer, and others are specially generated as sample ballots.
