Kansas - Douglas County Clerk, Kansas
Program Title
Election Office Workflow Innovation Using Microsoft 365
Program Summary
Douglas County developed an innovative solution using existing Microsoft 365 applications to manage advanced voting applications and ballot cure processes under Kansas law. The system centralizes tracking of application errors and signature deficiencies, allowing staff to efficiently document, monitor, and resolve issues during high-volume election periods. By replacing fragmented, manual workflows with a tailored, low-cost approach, the county reduces the risk of misplaced requests and improves consistency. This solution avoids reliance on expensive, partial vendor tools while leveraging familiar technology. As a result, the program saves staff time, strengthens accuracy, and improves overall administration of advance voting.
