The Doña Ana County Clerk’s Office is pleased to announce the launch of Ballot Verifier, a new online transparency portal, developed by technology software company Civera, that allows the public to view, compare, and independently verify ballot images and Cast Vote Records (CVRs) from the November 4, 2025 Regular Local Election. The portal is now live at electionstats.donaana.gov.
With the launch of Ballot Verifier, residents, voters, students, journalists, and researchers can now access election data directly online without submitting a formal public records request. Users can browse ballot images, explore precinct-level results, filter data by year and election type, and download election data directly from the platform.
The platform currently contains results from the most recent election. All ballot images and CVRs from that election are available for public review. Voters may be familiar with Civera’s technology because the New Mexico Secretary of State’s Office utilizes ElectionStats, a platform also developed by Civera.
“Our office has always prioritized the security, accuracy, and transparency of elections. The launch of Ballot Verifier represents another major step forward for accessibility and public trust. Whether you are a voter, a researcher, a student, or a member of the media, you can now browse the exact ballot images and Cast Vote Records from our most recent election from anywhere with an internet connection,” Doña Ana County Clerk, Dr. Amanda Lopez Askin said. “I want to thank our Board of County Commissioners, Chair Manuel Sanchez, and Past Chair Christopher Schaljo-Hernandez for their support and commitment to elections, and to our office.”
The launch of Ballot Verifier is the latest step in an ongoing mission and builds on the county’s history of embracing civic technology to serve residents. As part of this initiative, the Doña Ana County Clerk’s Office will also become the first county in the nation to implement a Spanish-language round-by-round results display for ranked-choice voting, alongside bilingual educational resources designed to help all voters better understand the election process. Voters can look forward to seeing the tool for the next Regular Local Election in 2027.
“A lot of the conspiracy theories, toxic rhetoric, and mistrust around elections in America goes hand-in-hand with people not being able to see enough and perceiving voting as being a black box experience. Ballot Verifier is a way to turn a black box into a glass box,” Civera CEO Adam Friedman said.
With Ballot Verifier now live, residents no longer need to navigate the formal public records request process to access ballot images and CVR data. This reduction in administrative burden frees staff time, reduces operational costs, and allows the office to respond to public inquiries more efficiently and consistently.
ABOUT CIVERA
Civera develops cutting-edge civic technology that unlocks historical election data and streamlines the work of election administrators. The Doña Ana County Clerk’s Office worked closely with Civera to create a Ballot Verifier portal ideally suited to the needs and conventions of Doña Ana County residents. The portal is separate from the county’s election management system, and residents can expect to see results from the latest election posted to the platform within weeks of the final certification date.
Civera’s technology has been featured in The New York Times, Fast Company, Wired, and Government Technology magazines. Ballot Verifier has also been adopted by counties in Texas, Colorado, Idaho, and Michigan, among others.
