More Info: Election Integrity, Open Ballot Initiative

The PNG image standard is a proposed format for The Open Ballot Initiative. It has many positive features:
  • CRC error detection on chunk by chunk basis.
  • Excellent data compression, not lossy
  • Embedded text capability.
  • Amenable to inclusion of additional metadata, such as:
    • ballot number
    • precinct number
    • ballot type
    • page of the ballot
    • MD5 or other SHA digest of the entire image.
But there are drawbacks
  • Not a multi-image format (does not natively support multi-page ballots)
