#CARecallElection facts:

✅California’s voting system standards & testing requirements are some of the strongest in the nation.
 
✅ CA requires voter-verified paper ballots. Ballots are optically scanned & digitally counted. The counts are verified through post-election audits.

✅ Every county must select a subset of their ballots (1% of their precincts) at random & tally the votes on those ballots, then compare them to the software-counted votes to verify they match. This is a public process that anyone can observe upon request. #CARecall

✅ Independent testers working through the CA Secretary of State’s office conduct voting system source code reviews, & volume, functionality, accessibility, & security tests before voting systems are certified. #CARecall

✅ Every active CA voter was issued a ballot for this election & all vote-by-mail ballots cast, whether by mail or dropped off, must bear the voter’s signature, & will only be counted if received on time & once the signature is verified against the voter’s reg. signature on file.
