It is unclear:
- if the order of public vote records is the same as the order they are
collected in. The code that exports public vote records doesn't seem to
be in the [2016 eVACS source code].
- if batch numbers change on a predictable schedule.
- if the batch numbers in the public vote records as the same as the batch
numbers that are collected. The public batch numbers don't seem to match
the format in the eVACS source code or [ballot paper record] descriptions.
Public information about ElectionsACT's systems exists, but parts of it are

Public information about ElectionsACT's systems exists, but parts of it are
incomplete. In the interests of accuracy, I asked ElectionsACT and Software
Improvements to clarify:

- if ElectionsACT keeps the id or time_stamp fields when the electronic vote
data is stored.

- whether similar fields are collected when electronic electoral rolls are
marked.

- if these fields are kept when the electronic electoral roll data is stored.

It is unclear:
- how much detailed electronic vote data is stored,

- how much of this detailed electronic electoral roll data is stored,
- if there is any surveillance footage that may reveal individual polling
times or polling orders.
