Abstract: I survey the state of election administration surrounding cast vote records in U.S. states. To study how states currently collect, preserve, and protect cast vote records, I made customized inquiries to election officers of all 50 states and D.C. The investigation shows how the administration of cast vote records is intricately related to other aspects of election administration: post-election audits, the interpretation of sometimes ambiguous regulations around the preservation of voted ballots and cast vote records, and the debate surrounding open records requests. I conclude with what the recently matured movement for common data formats entails for these issues surrounding cast vote records.
