News- Your ballot is safe! State ballot handling procedures protect against intentional or unintentional ballot destruction and related tampering.
- Election officials implement ballot processing and tabulation safeguards designed to ensure each ballot cast in the election can be correctly counted. These safeguards include chain of custody procedures, auditable logging requirements, and canvass processes. States safeguard mail ballots by verifying signatures, tracking barcodes, and setting clear chains of custody for all ballots.
