Introduction

The Election Information File (EIF) contains the full description of the election in terms of what contests are included and what options are listed for each contest. The EIF file is usually generated from the CVR, if it is available (public oversight workflow) or from other sources, such as the Logic and Accuracy Test results, in cooperative workflow. The EIF file can be edited by hand, and there are two versions, the DRAFT_EIF_(job_name).csv and the EIF_(job_name).csv. Only the latter should be edited.

Field Description
contest str The official name of this contest, which must be unique, and is used in the CVR.
ballot_contest_name The name of this contest as printed on hand-markable ballots.
bmd_contest_name The name of this contest as printed on BMD ballot summary sheets.
writein_num The number of write-in lines.
vote_for The maximum number of options that can be voted for.
official_contest_list The listed options used in the CVR. This list may include UPPER case listed options and mixed-case qualified write-ins in some cases.
ballot_options_list The list of options as printed on the ballot. Does not include qualified write-ins
bmd_options_list The list of options as printed on BMD ballot summary cards. These may not be accurate at this point and are adjusted later in the process using the BMDIF file and the BMD_Options_Report
summary_options The list of options as used on secondary ballot summary sheets, such as the AuditMark(tm) sheet used by Dominion.
qualified_writeins Any write-ins that are known to be qualified. Whether write-ins must be qualified varies by state and local laws.
