BOSTON, MA, July 10, 2017 – Clear Ballot announced today that King County, Washington, which includes the City of Seattle, selected ClearVote™ as its new voting system. King County is the largest jurisdiction in Washington and the 13th largest election jurisdiction in the United States with more than 1.2 million registered voters. The county also is the largest vote-by-mail election jurisdiction.

Since 2012, Clear Ballot has provided the election industry with a modern voting platform that delivers unprecedented security, speed, and transparency. The voting platform includes ClearAudit™, the nation’s first independent, automated audit and ClearVote, a complete, modern voting system. The rapid adoption of both products has made Clear Ballot the fastest-growing election technology provider in the nation. Forty-two percent of registered voters in Washington State will use ClearVote in its August elections. Since becoming certified in Oregon two years ago, 65 percent of registered voters in the state have had their ballots counted on the ClearVote voting system.

King County will be the first jurisdiction to use high-performance intelligent scanners from ibml with ClearVote software to process vote-by-mail ballots. The technologies will process ballots five times faster than any other voting system.

“We are excited to update our voting system with the latest technology from Clear Ballot,” said Julie Wise, Director of King County Elections. “ClearVote meets the needs of our growing county and will enable us to process elections with greater efficiency. We’re ready for the future.”

King County’s decision to use the ClearVote system and ibml’s scanners offers a compelling vision for the increasing number of states and counties considering vote-by-mail. King County will set a new bar for election innovation for jurisdictions that want to increase their transparency and efficiency while reducing cost.
