How are QR codes on ballots used?

Your machine-printed ballot contains a QR code and printed list of your votes. This lets you review your selections before casting your ballot. The QR code enables the scanner to read and record your ballot accurately.

The code contains no personal information, keeping your vote completely anonymous.

We audit the election by comparing a hand count to the machine count to confirm that the machine counted correctly.

Why is there a QR code on my machine-printed ballot? The QR code helps the scanner read your ballot. It does not contain your personal information! Using vote scanners makes the counting process more efficient, so you can know who won sooner.
