Elections staff reconcile and account for every single ballot in the building on a daily basis. This reconciling process allows us to know exactly where each ballot is in the process, track trends and patterns, and identify and troubleshoot any potential issues. Each election is fully reconciled before certification and reconciliation reports are available online on each election’s results page. King County Elections has a long track record of complete reconciliation for each election without no discrepancies or unaccounted for ballots.

Hannaankaan hubinta isbarbardhigga wuxuu noo oggolaanayaa inaan si sax ah u oggaano halka warqad codbixin kasta ay mareyso, inaan raad-raacno isbeddellada iyo qaababka, iyo in aan aqoonsano oo aan xalino wixii arrimo ah ee imaan kara.

Cutting-edge security measures Tallaabooyinka amniga ee heerka sare

A few of the security measures for each election: Dhawr tallaabo oo ka mid ah amniga doorasho kasta:

• Ballots and ballot processing areas are safeguarded by key card access and biometric controls that check fingerprints. Warqadaha codbixinta iyo aagaga kala habeynta warqadaha codbixinta waxaa lagu ilaaliyaa kaarka furaha ee gelitaanka iyo koontaroolada suulka la saaro ee hubinaya faraha.
• All staff, observers, visitors and media must be credentialed and wear a badge at all times. Color-coded lanyards allow for quick identification of security clearance. Dhammaan shaqaalaha, goobjoogeyaasha, soo booqadayaasha iyo warbaahinta waa in warqad aqoonsi loo sameeyo oo ay marwalba xirnaadaan calaamaddaas aqoonsiga. Xargaha qoorta ee midabada macnaha wata leh ayaa u oggolaanaya in si degdeg ah loo aqoonsado aagaga amniga ee loo oggol yahay.
• Staff and party observers participate in a Logic and Accuracy Test to ensure equipment will function properly in preparation for each election. Shaqaalaha iyo goobjoogeyaasha xisbiyada waxay ka qeyb galaan Tijaabinta Caqli-galnimada iyo Saxnaanta si loo xaqiijiyo in qalabku si sax ah u shaqeyn doono marka loo diyaar garoobayo doorasho kasta.
• More than 50 security cameras monitor the building 24 hours a day. In ka badan 50 kaamaro oo amniga ah ayaa kormeera dhismaha 24 saac maalintii.
• Building alarm systems are on doors and high security areas. Nidaamyada digniinta dhismaha ayaa ku xiran albaabada iyo meelaha ammaankoodu sareeyo.
• Coordination of site and ballot security with the Sheriff’s Office. Isku dubbaridka amniga goobta iyo warqadda codbixinta ee lala leeyahay Xafiiska Shariifowga.
• Ballots have a batching and tracking system. Warqadaha codbixinta waxa ay leeyihiin nidaamka kooxeynta iyo raad-raaca.
• A formal chain of custody process supports all movement of ballots. Habka silsiladda rasmiga ah ee gacan ku haynta waxa uu gacan ka geystaa dhammaan dhaqdhaqaaqyada warqadaha codbixinta.
