The Ballot Verifier
A new standard in transparency
By M. Mindy Moretti

Following the 2020 election, Ada County, Idaho, like most elections offices around the country, saw an unprecedented increase in the public interest in the voting process. Included in this interest was an exponential uptick in public records requests.
For Ada County, many of the requests related to both Cast Vote Records (“CVR” or “CVRs”) and inspection of ballots or ballot images.
In response, the elections office set the audacious goal of posting all ballot images and corresponding CVRs after every election in a user-friendly, public database that is easily accessible to all citizens, free of charge–a site that eventually became known as The Ballot Verifier.
