FOIA Request for Report of Cast Vote Record (CVR)

Minnesotans have requested through the freedom of information act (FOIA) process to view the CVR (cast vote record) reports from the Dominion, ES&S, and Hart systems used throughout Minnesota.

As shown in the graphic, the Results Consolidation and Reporting is only the final step in the tabulation and counting process within the machines.

The machine process itself is only one step in the larger 46-day absentee/mail-in voting election process.

Why will (so far) none of the election officials, including county clerks and recorders, provide this information to concerned citizens within their counties?

Election data, physical and digital, must be kept for 22 months following a federal election according to federal law.
