This is now completed and will be in the next GEMS release. Tab ----- Original Message ----- From: Cathi Smothers To: RCR Sent: Tuesday, August 01, 2000 2:33 PM Subject: MN Statistics Export File RCR: Modifications to the MN Statistics Export File as specified below Requested: August 1, 2000 Required: August 4 - Meeting with SOS to ensure we can produce the proper file August 25 - Simulation test - counties to transmit actual sample files to SOS Jurisdictions: All Minnesota Accounts I have been working with the MN SOS office today to ensure that GEMS is producing the proper Results and Statistical Export information. Apparently their requirements have changed for the Statistics Export, which they refer to as the MIF, and it needs to be in the format specified in the attached sample file which actually uses the same field lengths as the results export. Further explanation is provided below in an excerpt from an email received from the SOS office today. ---------------------- Below is an example of an MIF file (miscellaneous information file). The file type was determined by reading the first record entry. If the Office code was less than 100 (char 8-1 = 0), it meant that this was a MIF file. This is because the MIF file entered the following information using the Office Code no. of 0001 through 0007. to designate the 7 different lines of data 0001 = Person Registered 0002 = Election day reg. 0003 = Signatures 0004 = Regular Absentee Ballots 0005 = Federal Absentee Ballots 0006 = Presidential Absentee Ballots 0007 = Total no. of persons voting *====.================================================= 0001 # OF PERSONS REGISTERED AT 7AM 0001 # OF ELECTION DAY REGISTRANTS 0001 # OF SIGNATURES ON ROSTER 0001 # OF REGULAR ABSENTEE BALLOTS 0001 # OF FEDERAL ABSENTEE BALLOTS 0001 # OF PRESIDENTIAL ABSENTEE BALLOTS 0001 TOTAL NUMBER OF PERSONS VOTING ------------------------ In essence, the statistics file should list each precinct 7 times using an 18 character format similar to the current results export as follows: Field Name Field Length County Id 2 Precinct Id 4 Race(Office) Id 4 (values = 0001 - 0007 to define stats listed above ) Party Id 2 (always = 00) Candidate Id 2 (always = 00) Votes Cast 4 (the number corresponding to the stat definition) A meeting has been scheduled for this Friday morning between the MN SOS staff, Global(myself by phone), and a representative from ES&S to discuss the details of the export files and ensure that we can provide for their reporting needs. A test transmission of the files is to be cond ucted including all counties on August 25th. Cathi Smothers Global Election Systems 423.842.0937 423.505.7507
