Relating to the text on an application for a ballot to be voted by mail.

Contracts

• Printing Vendor Agreements: Update all Statements of Work (SOW) to explicitly require "10-point font minimum" and "100% black text."
• Indemnification Clauses: Amend Master Services Agreements (MSAs) with printers and consultants to include indemnification for costs and damages resulting from the rejection of ballot applications due to formatting non-compliance.

Hiring/Training

• Graphic Design Teams: Retrain design staff on the new statutory constraints. Aesthetic choices (e.g., grey instructional text or colored branding) are now illegal on the application body.
• Quality Control: Designate a compliance officer to physically measure font size on proofs prior to mass printing.

Reporting & Record-Keeping

• Proof Retention: Maintain physical or digital proofs of all printed election materials demonstrating 10-point font compliance to defend against potential claims of disenfranchisement.
• Inventory Logs: Document the destruction/recycling of obsolete forms to ensure they do not accidentally re-enter circulation.

Fees & Costs

• Inventory Write-Offs: Immediate financial loss regarding the destruction of current stock.
• Postage & Material Increases: Increasing font size to 10-point will likely force the form onto larger paper stock (e.g., moving from cardstock to 8.5x11 or 8.5x14), potentially increasing postage costs and requiring larger return envelopes.
