Georgia Secretary of State Raffensperger announces 100% accuracy for Ballot Image Audit results in 2024 General Election

Atlanta – Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced the results of the ballot image audit conducted in coordination with Enhanced Voting and local officials in each of Georgia’s 159 counties. The audit examined 5,297,262 ballot images from thousands of Dominion Voting System tabulators deployed during the 2024 General Election. The audit utilized the Enhanced Audit software from Enhanced Voting to examine the ballot images and provide county election officials with the ability to review ballots and potential discrepancies. 

“The ballot image audit shows again that the votes in Georgia were counted accurately, securely, and quickly,” said Secretary Raffensperger. “I’m proud of the hard work of the elections staff in my office and the county election workers across Georgia.” 

There were zero differences found between the tabulation based on the human-readable text and the tabulation based on the QR codes generated by the Dominion ImageCast X ballot marking devices. In every instance, the human-readable text on the paper ballots matched the votes represented in the QR code on that ballot.

There were discrepancies found on 87 ballots of the 5,297,262 cast. That represents 0.001642% of the ballots. All 87 were due to human reviewers attempting to discern voter intent. One ballot produced by a ballot marking device had a write-in in a local contest reviewed and adjudicated incorrectly to a candidate on the ballot. The remaining 86 discrepancies were on hand-marked paper ballots. There were 271,399 hand-marked ballots cast, which yields a 0.0317% discrepancy rate. 

The audit examined every race in every county in Georgia. There were 1,955 total contests in Georgia in the 2024 General Election. That includes 295 federal or state contests, along with 1,660 local races. The audit examined each ballot cast in all of these races, officials said. The QR codes were 100% accurate in all cases.

“The image audit shows that our system works accurately and can be trusted,” Raffensperger added.
