Humboldt County Election Transparency Project
Ballot Scans from the Election of November 3, 2009

Click any of the links below to download a montage of fifty ballot images from Humboldt County, California's November 3rd, 2009 election. (Note: because ballot numbering starts at one, the first montage contains 49 images.)

The complete set of full-sized images is available from the Humboldt County Elections Department on two DVDs.

The scanning logs can be downloaded as a PDF by clicking here.

Your web browser may show the montages reduced to fit your screen; if this is the case, clicking on the shrunken image should enlarge it so that you can see more detail.

Only odd numbered images (almost always a ballot front) were printed with numbers; the following ballot image with an even number is the reverse side of the previous ballot image.

Scans shown in reverse video (white on black) were the scanner's output when it double-fed or triple-fed a ballot. Where these were encountered, the ballots were re-scanned upside down. The re-scans will show the original number as well as the re-scan number assigned.

The imprinted numbers appear VERY light on these images, but are visible on the center left edge of each numbered image.
