How do we verify the accuracy of ballots tabulated by our voting systems? It starts with a roll of the dice! πŸŽ²πŸ—³οΈ On Tuesday, June 16, at 9am, the Department of Elections will conduct the random selection of ballots for the 1% Manual Tally. What is the 1% Manual Tally? It is a public post-election audit where we hand-count ballots from a randomly selected sample to confirm that the voting equipment accurately tabulated ballots. How does it work? β€’ The Selection: Using ten-sided dice, members of the public will select 1% of San Francisco’s 501 precincts, alongside 1% of all vote-by-mail and provisional ballot batches. β€’ The Hand Count: Department staff will gather the selected ballots and prepare them for manual hand-count. The manual count will begin on Wednesday, June 17, at 8:30am, at our warehouse on Pier 31. You are invited to observe the entire process in person or from home! πŸ“ In-Person Selection: 9am on June 16 at City Hall, Room 48 πŸ“ In-Person Tally: 8:30am on June 17 at Pier 31 🌐 Livestream: Watch these processes live at sfelections.gov/observe Questions?
