BOSTON, MA – Clear Ballot announced today that the Ohio Board of Voting Machine Examiners has certified ClearVote for use in the state of Ohio. ClearVote is a paper-based voting system, and the first built with commercial-off-the-shelf components paired with modern software, which lowers the lifetime cost of ownership for jurisdictions and saves taxpayer dollars.
ClearVote allows election officials to view ballot images in ways that have never been possible before. For example, large-scale 100% independent audits can be conducted with ease, close elections can be resolved with full confidence in minutes, and election officials can now have a new class of visual tools to strengthen public trust.
ClearVote is made up of the following components:
Much of ClearVote has been State certified in Oregon, Washington and Colorado, significantly improving the efficiency and transparency of their election processes over multiple election cycles.
Clear Ballot CEO Larry Moore said, “We’re looking forward to working with Ohio counties to modernize and improve the efficiency of their elections. We intend to build a lasting relationship with the state to work toward a transparent future for Ohio elections.”
