Learn how ballots are processed in Kitsap County

From the Kitsap County voters pamphlet:

Ballot processing is a public meeting. Come watch us work in person as we:
• Test our tabulation system (October 12)
• Receive ballots
• Verify signatures
• Separate the ballots from the envelopes
• Review ballots for any marks or damage that would keep them from
scanning correctly
• Duplicate ballots that cannot be scanned
• Scan ballots
• Review ballots for voter intent
• Audit our tabulation system
• Certify the election
Anyone wishing to observe the process or just learn more details about our
rules and procedures is invited to a training offered by Kitsap County
Elections. Staff members will go over the processes described above and
answer questions. The training will be:
6 p.m., Monday, October 18, 2021
