surname Zhang; to spread; sheet of paper; classifier for flat objects, sheet; classifier for votes
bow (弓) + long (长) = to open and spread out
A bow being drawn open and stretched is the core image: 弓 carries the meaning of spreading or extending. 长 mainly contributes the zhāng sound; from 'open bow' the meaning extended to any flat thing being spread out, counted in sheets.
