Virginia - Arlington County Office of Voter Registration
Program Title
Election Night Results Validation and Reporting Tool
Program Summary
The Arlington County Office of Voter Registration modernized Election Night reporting by replacing a five-step process. This was done through an electronic system using off-the-shelf technology and a real-time dashboard. Instead of multiple rounds of transcription, poll workers now enter results at the precinct. That data is made instantly available at the central office. Automated checks verify that votes cast match votes reported for each contest, and validated precincts are quickly marked as ready for publication and uploaded to the state system. If issues arise, the dashboard isolates the contest for rapid correction. This approach improves accuracy, reduces transcription errors, and ensures quick publication of secure results.
