The Cuyahoga County Board of Elections and the County Commissioners have jointly appointed CSU's Center for Election Integrity to serve as the Public Monitor for the County Board of Election's (CCBOE's) conduct of elections. The Center will monitor implementation of the reforms recommended by the Cuyahoga Election Review Panel’s Final Report (July 20, 2006), certain recommendations from other studies, the achievement of CCBOE election preparation plans, and the actual conduct of the County's elections. This last set of monitoring tasks will encompass absentee ballot procedures, Election Day voting, vote tabulation and reconciliation, provisional ballot verification, and recounts.
As Public Monitor, the Center will provide frequent public reports on Cuyahoga County's progress toward election administrative excellence, and on any risks that develop in preparation for its conduct of an election. The Public Monitor will report to the public, as well as to the Boards of both the Cuyahoga County Commission and the Board of Elections, with the goal of ensuring a lawful, equitable, and secure electoral system that produces accurate and verifiable election results. As proposed by the Election Review Panel, the Center for Election Integrity will seek financial assistance from foundations to support the Center’s monitoring activities.
This website will maintain all of the Monitor's reports on Cuyahoga County's election improvements and its implementation of the Cuyahoga Election Review Panel's Final Report. Check back often for updates.
