Case Study: Midwest County Board of Elections achieves dramatically fewer rejected candidacy petitions with JobRouter

County Elections Board Helps Candidates Complete Forms Successfully

The Midwest County Board of Elections faced frequent, avoidable rejections of nominating petitions because candidates often completed the Statement of Candidacy incorrectly and errors were discovered too late. To address this, the Board implemented a guided online solution built with JobRouter’s Digital Process Automation platform to protect candidates and streamline the filing process.

JobRouter delivered a Nominating Petition Portal that guides candidates through a short online form, autofills the official Statement of Candidacy into a downloadable/printable PDF, and provides staff with a secure master-data dashboard. The JobRouter solution reduced petition rejections by preventing data-entry mistakes, confirmed candidates read guidelines, limited visible offices to currently open races, added audit trails, and enabled scheduled and ad-hoc reporting—improving accuracy, accountability, and administrative efficiency.
