Each of these metrics captures a choke-point where an election can either retain or lose integrity. Voting Structure defines how many places a voter may cast a ballot; limiting voters to a single precinct makes real-time identity checks and reconciliation far easier than countywide “vote-anywhere” models. Voter-roll Access lets citizens crowd-source accuracy: when rolls are transparent and inexpensive to inspect, dead, duplicated, or non-resident registrations—prime raw material for fraud—are more likely to be spotted and removed. Absentee and Mail Voting stretch the chain of control between voter and tabulator, so tracking how ballots are requested, returned, and authenticated is essential. Clear Voter Registration cut-offs and limits on election-day sign-ups give officials time to vet new voters before ballots are issued. Ballot Type and Counting are important because certain ballots and counting types are inherently more secure. Mandating hand-marked paper ballots and at least some hand-count verification creates a tamper-evident record that resists digital compromise. Security and Transparency with strict chain-of-custody rules and auditable public logs let anyone trace a ballot’s journey from issuance to final tally. Together, these measures form interlocking safeguards—if one layer falters, the others still deter manipulation and expose irregularities, giving voters confidence that official results match the true will of eligible citizens.
