I've completed the initial version of a English US EAC compliant paper ballot generating API. It takes XML candidate/issue data and uses it to generate a PDF of a ballot that is 100% compliant with the US EAC ballot design standards.
The application is Opensource and you can find it on Google Code at the following address:
http://code.google.com/p/accessballot/
You can also use the hosted version on the Accessvote.com (which is free of charge). The following is a sample ballot generated using the free API:

If you would like more information on how to use it/integrate it into your own applications, you can view the project wiki at the following location:

Wow. I really do hope generating a ballot is this easy in the near future. The program we currently use now is very cumbersome and its features are very limited. Keep up the good work!
