Grant County Auditor Platform

Every ballot, from first issuance to final count, must be tracked under strict chain-of-custody procedures to uphold election integrity. Ballots remain sealed, logged, and stored securely until counted, ensuring that every voter’s voice is protected and promoting fiscal responsibility in our processes.

Election Observers & Transparency

We welcome election observers from any party to monitor vote counting, reinforcing the principles of transparent government. We’ll provide 24-hour live feeds of ballot boxes, ballot handling, and the counting process so the community can see every step and access vital voter information.

Public Reporting & Auditability

To ensure clear and accessible records, we maintain chain-of-custody logs that allow residents and election observers from all parties to verify and trust election results, thereby strengthening confidence in our democratic process and county financial oversight.

Maintain clean and up-to-date voter registration records by removing duplicates, deceased voters, or outdated information. This is essential for ensuring election integrity and promoting fiscal responsibility within our county financial oversight. Ensure the security and integrity of voter rolls to protect the election process so only legal votes are counted. Encourage all eligible US citizens and Grant County residents to register and participate in elections. This not only ensures registration but also promotes turnout by leading and supporting voter information initiatives, voter registration drives, and get-out-the-vote efforts. Serve as a visible advocate for accessible, fair, and secure participation in every election, contributing to a transparent government.
