Ada County, Idaho, Elections Integrity Tool (Ballot Verifier)
The Ballot Verifier allows the public to access every single cast ballot in every Ada County election as far back as 2022. Check it out!
Multiple Uses: The site has multiple uses. But its most important purpose is to build confidence in the Ada County elections process by giving all the data to citizens at the click of a mouse. You can easily search all ballot images and how those images were read (Cast Vote Records) down to the Precinct level.
No More Public Records Requests Needed: Long delays and paperwork are over! Now, the general public can view and download all cast ballots at any time, as well as run their own "citizen count."
Unique: No one else in the country is doing this. Reporters who cover elections worldwide said that no one in the world is doing this.
Transparent: We cannot get more transparent than this site, which provides a tool that can be used to look back at past elections and prepare for elections coming up.
Powerful & In-Depth: This powerful Elections Integrity Tool currently provides all the data for every Ada County election starting in 2022 and is planned for every election going forward.
FAQs: The FAQs explain the purpose of the ballot verifier, how it streamlines Public Records Requests, who can view the site, and how quickly after an election ballots will be available to view. You’ll also find a Guide and Glossary for the Ballot Verifier. Click here for FAQs.
