Statement of Purpose
The
Illinois Ballot Integrity Project
is a not-for-profit, non-partisan
civic organization dedicated to the correction of
election system deficiencies and to ensuring fair,
accurate, and completely transparent elections.
Fundamental to election integrity is the inscribing
of all votes (whether by hand or by machine) on
durable paper ballots which are easily handled and
verified by the individual voter. The voter�s paper
ballot shall be the only
official
ballot for purposes of casting, tallying, counting,
audit and recount.
Mission Statement
The
Mission
of the
Illinois Ballot Integrity Project
is to inform and educate the public,
media and government officials about important
election-integrity issues and to promote the adoption
of legislation and policies designed to secure the
democratic process.
We Support These Principles
Every Vote Counts - Count Every Vote
We support
the proposition that every qualified
voter must be assured a reasonable opportunity to cast
his or her vote in every election in which he or she is
legally entitled to participate.
Trust . . . But Verify
We support
same-day in-precinct counting and
tabulation of ballots, with multi-partisan supervision,
public oversight and immediate public posting of the results.
We support
independent multi-partisan audits
consisting of a complete hand-count of at least ten
percent (10%) of randomly selected ballots for all
National, State, County and City elections.
We support
publicly funded non-partisan exit polling.
We support
safe and secure storage of all election
records and ballots for a minimum of two (2) years.
We support
multi-partisan election boards.
Equal Voting Opportunity
We support
the establishment and enforcement of
uniform voting standards, procedures, and methods applicable
to all elections and all polling places.
We support
independent, private, and convenient
casting of ballots by all voters, regardless of physical capabilities.
We support
the establishment of election day as
a national holiday.
