Election Night at KQED

Election employees sort test ballots, known as a ‘test deck,’ at the Shasta County Clerk and Registrar of Voters offices in Redding, Calif., on Oct. 4, 2024. The test ballots go through the ballot counting system to test the accuracy of the vote count. The tests are repeated until any issues are resolved and the results are accurate. This test is separate from functionality testing.
