HOW IT WORKS

ENSURING A FAIR AND ACCURATE VOTE

HOW IT WORKS BALLOT •

Each voter ballot has a carbonless copy

•

Both the carbonless copy and the voter ballot have a common serial number

38796-2 38796-2

HOW IT WORKS Ballot Copy • •

Your Copy

The top copy is yours to keep The bottom copy is retained by the Board of Elections

38796-2

Ballot Election Copy 38796-2

HOW IT WORKS •

Before you leave the voting location an authentication code will be stamped on your ballot

•

The Authentication code is generated by an algorithm and by reading the serial number.

•

Each voting location has a different algorithm known only to the Secretary of State Authentication code

BALLOT

38796-2

HOW IT WORKS •

The day after you vote your local Board Of Elections (BOE) will post a record of each serial number on the Secretary of State website and on the local BOE website.

•

You can lookup your serial number on your copy of your ballot to make sure your vote was tallied correctly

HOW IT WORKS •

Additionally, the local BOE will graphically map everyone who has voted by precinct.

•

This way a person can tell if someone else is claiming to live on their property and citizen watchdogs can see if persons are registering on empty lots

HOW IT WORKS •

If your ballot was tallied incorrectly you may contest the count of the election before it is certified.

•

To challenge the count you need your state issued identification and you need your ballot copy with the proper authentication code
