Ballot Casting Security
Reducing the time window of opportunity for sensitive data to leak is critical to enhancing the security level of an election system. For this reason, elections that have a vast majority of the citizens vote on election day and cast all ballots on election day have fewer election integrity incidents. To provide the greatest protection for the interest of citizens who vote legally we advocate for the following policies, processes, and measures to be implemented on the day that all ballots are cast.
Election day is one day and all ballots are officially cast on Election Day. Absentee-Ballots, Early-Voter-Ballots, and Election-Day-Ballots are all voter authenticated, confirmed to be authorized, and cast on Election Day.
Election day is a paid holiday for salary workers. Hourly workers are paid holiday wages for hours worked during the Election Day holiday. Employers with hourly waged workers scheduled to work on election day for four or more hours must provide a 2-hour paid break for employees to vote.
State law requires all Registered Voters voting on Election Day to check in at the polls' registered voter check-in station and present a valid government-issued Photo Identification Card to gain access to a ballot. Voters’ government-issued Photo ID must confirm their name, address, and photo must match the registered voter listed on the voter roll to obtain a ballot and cast a vote.
Early-Voter-Ballots are removed from chain-of-custody by a partisan balanced observed election officer and entered into the rolls, through the verification of authentic government-issued photo-ID identity match and then entered into the cast ballots pool.
Absentee-Voter-Ballots are removed from chain-of-custody by a partisan balanced observed election officer and entered into the rolls, through the verification of authentic government-issued photo-ID identity match and then entered into the cast ballots pool.
Election workers and officials responsible for verifying registered voters' identities are guilty of ballot handling fraud if they do not faithfully verify the person's identity via a valid government-issued photo ID and grant the casting of a ballot by an unverified individual.
Only registered voters with a valid government-issued Photo ID are eligible to vote. If an individual has not obtained a no-cost, easy access, statewide photo ID card before election day and they do not have a valid government-issued Photo ID then they will not be able to vote on election day. It is the responsibility of the citizen to meet identification verification requirements for the election. Citizens must prepare accordingly for election day.
State law requires the presentation and confirmation of a valid government-issued Photo Identification for an individual to assist a voter in casting their vote. The Voting Assistant's activity and who they assisted are logged in a statewide log that tracks the number of assisted ballots the individual assisted.
State, County, and Local laws do not allow third-party individuals, other than immediate family or caregivers, to deliver a voter's ballot to the polls or election office. The state restricts the number of ballots a family or a caregiver can deliver to the polls or partisan balanced observed election office to no more than four ballots.
If a registered voter's government-issued Identification is lost or missing on election day then the registered voter identification verification process for obtaining a provisional ballot is as strict as obtaining a replacement no-cost Voter ID from the State. A provisional ballot is provided to the party, their roll check-in is marked as provisional, and their ballot is marked as a provisional ballot pending confirmation of a valid replacement Voter ID. The registered voter with a missing Photo ID must bring all required replacement ID verification documentation with them to a designated local poll location in their district, no later than four hours before the closing of the polls on election day. Confirmation of pre-existing Photo Voter ID status for a registered voter is expedited and completed within one hour of provisional ballot issuance.
State, County, and Local laws do not allow unattended, unsecured, non-partisan-balanced collection boxes for the receipt of ballots; including and not limited to: Drop Boxes, Mail Boxes, or any other boxes vulnerable to unsecured trafficking and/or harvesting of the ballot.
State, County, and Local laws require the consolidated list of voter identities who cast ballots in-person and/or Absentee to not be gathered and shared until after the election results are published. No individuals or groups are to be aware of who voted until after polls are closed and all votes are counted.
State law requires that voter participation rolls are not tallied or shared until all vote counting has been finalized and election result recording activities and publishing activities have been completed. Violation of this is met with severe and harsh imprisonment and monetary penalties.
State, County, and Local laws require Absentee Voters who are out of the state or country and cannot access a PB observation location to witness their vote to have their Absentee Ballot notarized by a legally approved witness to the accuracy of the voter's identity.
State law restricts the number of absentee ballots an individual can witness.
