Jeffco Clerk and Recorder
@jeffcoclerk.bsky.social
On a mission to make government and the democratic process work for all of Jeffco. Elections, DMV, marriage licenses, liquor licenses, recording, and passports.
And that’s a wrap—our audit matches perfectly!

Today we confirmed once again that the results we reported are accurate. RLAs are a rigorous, transparent, and efficient way to verify election outcomes, and we’re proud to complete another successful audit.👏

If what we see on the paper ballots perfectly matches the system’s record, we’re done! 🙌

Then we wait for the other Colorado counties to finish—all of us must pass the audit together for the election results to be confirmed.

Our bipartisan audit boards are now reviewing the selected ballots. They read the voter’s choices directly from the paper and enter them into the audit software to compare the paper record with how that ballot was originally counted.

Because we had more ballots returned than any other county, we have more ballots to look through to find our list, but it doesn’t necessarily mean we need to audit more ballots. The number of ballots we audit is based on how close the race was we’re auditing. Today we’re auditing 381 ballots.

Our first job is to track down each ballot randomly selected for today’s audit. Every ballot gets a unique number when it’s scanned, so we can find that exact paper ballot again quickly and accurately.

All tests passed with 100% accuracy! Our LAT board has certified Jeffco’s tabulation system for the upcoming election. Ballots begin mailing this Friday. #VoteJeffco

We’re making steady progress! Our LAT board is testing different pens, odd marks, and every possible voting style. So far: flawless results ✅

Next up: adjudication, where we determine voter intent.

A bipartisan team reviews any ballot the scanner flags for unclear marks—smudges, checkmarks, double marks, or scribbles—to confirm how to count each vote.

Accessibility matters. We’re testing our ADA-accessible ballot-marking devices, too.

These allow voters with disabilities to vote privately and independently, producing the same paper ballot that gets scanned and counted like all others.

Let’s talk overvotes and undervotes:
✅ Overvote = picking too many candidates in one race (those votes don’t count).
✅ Undervote = leaving a race blank or voting for fewer than allowed.
Our LAT makes sure the system flags both correctly.
