Description

### Is there an existing issue for this?

- [X] I have searched the existing issues

### Suggestion

When generating ballots for testing, the ballot_id field gets filled with the string fake-ballot-0, fake-ballot-1, etc

When you use these to add to an election, there could be times when you could have multiple ballots with the same ballot_id field. The tally process checks these ids and will fail when there are duplicates.

One way to enhance this is to add a time/date stamp after the number in the ballot_id.

The cli should also have a version command to be able to tell what version of the encryption nuget/library is being used.
