Automatic Signature Verification uses advanced scanning and pattern analysis to compare a voter’s ballot envelope signature to reference signatures on file. Rather than relying solely on human reviewers—who may be inconsistent or overwhelmed during peak periods—ASV software applies measurable criteria to flag potential mismatches for follow-up.

1. Scanned signatures from ballot envelopes are analyzed in real time.
2. Key characteristics such as stroke formation, pen pressure, and shape patterns are compared against voter records.
3. Signatures are scored, and those falling below a confidence threshold are routed for manual review or follow-up.
4. Audit trails are created automatically, enhancing accountability and traceability.

• Speed & Scalability: Process thousands of vote-by-mail ballots per hour—critical during high-turnout elections.
• Consistency: Avoid variability caused by fatigue, bias, or inconsistent training.
• Accuracy: Modern ASV systems can detect subtle differences while allowing for natural variations in signatures.
• Audit-Ready: Every scan is archived with timestamped records, supporting transparency and compliance.

When used alongside systems like the Insight Processor, ASV technology becomes even more powerful—allowing offices to scan, verify, and review ballots in parallel, all within a secure local environment. Staff can focus on exceptions while the system handles high-volume, routine verifications with confidence.

While some legacy systems rely on outdated technology, our ASV offering is built with modern elections in mind—leveraging updated software, flexible configurations, and integration with evolving election workflows. Whether you’re scaling up mail-in voting or looking to streamline verification, we help you meet today’s standards with tomorrow’s tools.
