# August 2026 Primary Ballot Envelope Tracking Source

## Source Metadata

- Type: Google Sheets (shared workbook)
- Title: `AUGUST 2026 PRIMARY Ballot Envelope Imprinting and Tracking Scheduled .xlsx`
- URL: `https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1l77Hvw-vmdE8FnByxr7Ink4zMtp66iAc/edit?gid=1537818588`
- Added to project knowledge: 2026-05-05
- Added by: project team (late planning input)

## Why This Matters

This source adds real election-cycle operational detail that should be represented in planning and implementation:

- Jurisdiction and municipality-level planning rows
- Addressing/tracking and round-trip flags
- NetSort / NP-STD / CRID / auth and KCI-related fields
- Envelope and return-envelope flow details
- Sorting, daily sort, permit/meter, and mail date fields
- Proofing and contact workflow fields (`Proof Sent`, `Proof Approved`, contact emails/names)

## Integration Notes

- Treat this as a planning and reconciliation source, not a direct legacy-table replacement.
- Map spreadsheet columns to extension-layer entities and preserve provenance (source row, import timestamp, actor).
- Validate join keys against legacy identifiers (`ID`, `JCode`/`JurisCode`, `KitID`) before publishing changes.
- Protect contact data with role-based visibility and audit logging.
