Case Study: Bay County, Florida achieves digital ballot inventory and disaster recovery readiness with Clear Ballot VerifyNow Pro

Bay County, Florida replaces paper ballots for 124,000 voters with Clear Ballot

Bay County, Florida, faced a challenge in creating a disaster relief plan for its election operations, particularly during hurricane season. The retired Supervisor of Elections, Mark Andersen, needed a way to securely access ballot data without handling physical paper records. The county turned to Clear Ballot and its VerifyNow Pro solution to address this need.

Clear Ballot's software provided a complete digital ballot inventory system, cataloging scanned ballots and allowing officials to view the archive and pinpoint the location of every physical ballot. This gave Bay County the structure to prepare and implement a disaster plan. As a result of implementing Clear Ballot's solution, the county no longer needs to store paper ballots, as the digital images are now considered the official record, significantly improving election management and preparedness.
