October 3, 2022 – The El Paso County Clerk and Recorder’s Office continues to provide a tool to allow citizens to review the ballots cast in an election. The ballot image audit and review (BAR) tool allows the public to view, sort, filter, and download ballot images from the 2022 Primary Election, permitting an extra level of election transparency from the comfort of their home.
“Our office prides itself on transparency, therefore, we are leading the way in innovative solutions in providing election services via a virtual government for our constituents,” said Chuck Broerman, Clerk and Recorder. “This is one of several initiatives the Clerk’s office has offered to ensure confidence and trust of the election process and the confirmation of results for all elections held in El Paso County for the last three years. This tool also allows citizens to perform their own hand count audit”
The Clerk and Recorder’s Office prides itself on transparent, secure, accurate, and verifiable elections and first implemented this tool after the 2020 General Election to ensure confidence, trust and the opportunity for anyone to have the ability to audit our election process.
