Managing your election printing needs

The California Election Code requires that voter-specific sample ballots and supplementary materials be sent to each voter approximately four to five weeks before an election. These pamphlets include descriptions of contests and ballot measures, statements provided by candidates, impartial analyses of measures, arguments for and against measures, the actual text of each measure, voting instructions and other helpful information.

Any single pamphlet is relatively simple to print. The complexity arises from the vast quantity of different pamphlets needed. For a single primary election in a single county, for example, as many as 5600 distinct books have been required and potentially in excess of 15,000 versions (all counties included). Also, in some areas, federal law requires versions in Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Korean and Tagalog.

Merrill produces pamphlets for many of California's counties.  These booklets typically vary from 8 to 96  pages and millions must be produced in a three-week time span. The process is monumental. After working closely with each client on all composition, we assemble the pamphlets, schedule the presses and bindery, route the pamphlets for printing and mail them – an intricate process itself – all the while tracking progress down to the item level and providing a status update to every client on a daily basis.

Merrill’s sophisticated composition, assembly and tracking system has been tested and refined on communication materials throughout a variety of industries. When applied to the stringent demands of printing VIPs, we exceed the challenge with speed, quality, and cost-effective production and distribution methods. Consider Merrill for your Election Service requirements.
