Since 2000, there has been a continuing trend in the reduction of the number of ballots cast without valid votes. In 2000, undervotes and overvotes accounted for 2.9302% of the votes cast in the presidential race. In 2002, that number dropped to 0.7766% due, in large part, to a change in the voting systems that were certified for use in the State. The most recent election cycle saw yet another reduction in that number, dropping it to a historically low 0.4116%. An unprecedented statewide, non-partisan voter education campaign combined with the fact that voters continue to become more accustomed to using new technologies, have contributed greatly to the continuation of this trend.
