Case Study: State of Utah increases voter confidence with Election Systems & Software

State of Utah cuts ballot processing time with Election Systems & Software, onboarding 19 counties in 3-4 months

The State of Utah faced challenges with its aging voting system, which was originally designed for in-person voting and struggled to efficiently handle the state's widespread shift to vote-by-mail. The system also lacked robust auditing capabilities. To address this, Utah selected Election Systems & Software (ES&S) as its new election management provider, adopting solutions including the ExpressVote universal voting system and the DS450 tabulator.

Election Systems & Software implemented new equipment and an election management system that streamlined ballot processing, significantly reduced tabulation time, and introduced comprehensive, efficient post-election audits. The solution resulted in substantial time savings for election workers, a more transparent and auditable process, and high praise for ES&S's customer support and training during the rapid statewide rollout.
