Ballot Hand Counting Demo at the Rotunda
At the Iowa State Capitol Rotunda in Des Moines on March 19, 2026, volunteers explained to legislators how hand counting ballots is the most transparent and accurate method possible for counting ballots.
Two teams of two each tally the votes, cross-checking every 100 votes.
Counting is typically done on election day at the precinct where the ballots were cast.
Advantages of hand counting over computerized machine counting include:
Same day results
Fully transparent
Not hackable
Community involvement
Much less costly
Restores trust in our elections
Next demo at the Capital Rotunda:
