Ballot box visibility
View the latest reported location of ballot boxes and other election assets while they are in transit.
Election asset tracking
Digital Chain of Custody for Critical Election Assets
ATLAS helps election operations teams monitor ballot boxes and other critical physical assets, confirm arrival and retain an auditable movement history without replacing established election procedures.
The visibility problem
Critical election assets move across people, vehicles and locations.
Phone calls and manual updates can make it difficult to build a current shared picture. ATLAS adds a digital operational layer so authorised teams can see reported movement and focus attention on exceptions.
Arrival confirmation
Check whether a tracked asset has reached its expected count venue or operational destination.
Movement history
Retain a chronological physical-asset record for review after the live operation.
Existing-process compatibility
Digital visibility complements physical custody.
ATLAS does not replace sealing, transport, staffing, handover or escalation procedures. It supports those controls with a shared location view and retained history.
- Keep established statutory and local procedures.
- Add visibility without relying on consumer item finders.
- Give appropriate users controlled platform access.
- Retain an operational record for review and investigation.
Operational outcome
Fewer routine location calls
A shared election asset view can reduce repeated check-ins while helping the operations team recognise assets that require attention.

Resilient tracking
Preserve the journey through connectivity interruptions.
Multi-network connectivity is designed to improve the opportunity to connect across available mobile networks. When service is temporarily unavailable, the tracker can retain location information and upload it after connectivity returns.
Live visibility may pause during the gap, while retained information helps preserve the historical election asset movement record.

The tracker travels with the physical asset, connectivity carries available information, and ATLAS organises it into a live view and retained history.
