Elbert County

In late 2024, Elbert County Clerk & Recorder Rhonda Braun was faced with a daunting task: implement a new voting system county-wide ahead of the 2025 election, and train a brand new staff that had never before worked with a voting system. What seemed like an uphill battle at first ended up being a seamless transition thanks to Clear Ballot’s easy-to-use technology and responsive customer service team.

During the transition to the Clear Ballot system, one of the first advantages noticed by Braun was ease of ballot programming. “We were able to program the election and design the ballot with brand new staff that had never worked with a voting system.”

Something that previously took Rhonda and her team countless hours was not an issue thanks to Clear Ballot’s technology. The team enjoyed a noticeable improvement on election night because Clear Ballot’s system allows ballot images to be read even if the ballot has been smudged, damaged, or torn in any way. No longer needing to duplicate thousands of ballots saved the team countless hours and greatly reduced the risk of human error during the counting process. This is something that was “appreciated by our election judges” said Braun.

For Rhonda Braun and her team in Elbert County, voting system technology improvements and stellar customer service have made all the difference. “I highly recommend the Clear Ballot system.”
