An In-Depth Review of Clarendon County's Ballot Reconciliation Worksheets From the November 2022 General
South Carolina State Election Commission
South Carolina State Election Commission
Abstract
For the November 2022 General Election, 39% of Clarendon County’s ballot reconciliation worksheets were completed, and 44% were reconciled. For the 61% of the worksheets that were partially completed, this was, in part, likely due to the lack of a requirement from the State Election Commission to fill every field, even if zero. Ensuring the county’s worksheet review process includes a review of the entire worksheet for completion, supplies its precincts with the required number of hand-marked paper ballots, and validates the worksheet’s entries with returned election data can correct noted imbalances. Adequately completing and reconciling the ballot reconciliation worksheet will give greater assurance that all valid ballots cast have been included in the election results.
