Bringing Transparency to Elections: A Video Series on the Ballot Process
Program Summary
Utilizing Help America Vote Act funding, Pierce County Elections produced a seven-part video series that has already generated nearly 30,000 views. The short videos give voters a behind-the-scenes look at how ballots are handled, counted, and secured. Inspired by the Election Assistance Commissions (EAC) guidance, the series serves as an ongoing education tool to reduce confusion, build understanding, and further trust. By clearly demonstrating election procedures, the videos improve understanding of ballot safeguards and increase transparency. Some viewers even visited the Elections Center after being informed that observation was allowed. For Pierce County staff, the series provides a consistent, reusable resource that continues to improve communication and efficiency.
