Hi. I'm Cindy Johnson.

Following best practices means adopting the same proven procedures used by high-performing election offices across Oregon and the country. When we implement methods that are already tested and reliable, we reduce risk, improve accuracy, and protect results.

The Clerk’s office is the gatekeeper of trust in our local democracy. Transparency and strict process are how we demonstrate that every ballot is treated with care and every result can be believed.

Improving accuracy begins with tightening every step of the election process, from ballot design and proofing, to chain-of-custody, to tabulation checks. When each stage is audited and verified before moving forward, accuracy becomes the default, not the exception.
