Program Title
Mapping Ballot Chain-of-Custody Using GIS
Program Summary
The Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerks GIS Ballot Box Scan Dashboard modernizes ballot chain-of-custody tracking by integrating geospatial technology with real-time barcode scan data. Built in ArcGIS Dashboards, it provides election officials with a live, interactive map showing the movement and status of ballot boxes from vote centers to check-in stations and the ballot processing center. Each time a box is scanned, the system records the time and location, creating a clear and easy-to-follow audit trail. The system replaces manual spreadsheets and fragmented reporting with a centralized, data-driven platform that enhances accountability, strengthens oversight, and supports secure, efficient election operations.
