How many U.S. jurisdictions still use Dominion hardware or software as of 2025 and where can current procurement lists be found?
Executive summary
Dominion/Liberty Vote systems were in use across a significant slice of the country in 2024–25, with reporting consistently saying jurisdictions in roughly 27 states relied on Dominion equipment during the 2024 election cycle [1] [2] [3]. Precise counts of “how many jurisdictions” vary by definition and source; officials and trackers point to thousands of local jurisdictions and tens of millions of voters served, and up-to-date procurement rolls are best obtained from a mix of national trackers and state and local election procurement pages [4] [1] [5].
1. Current footprint: states and scale
Multiple reputable outlets report Dominion systems were used in 27 states for the 2024 elections, a figure repeated by news organizations and fact-checkers during 2024–25 [1] [3] [2]. That state-level headline is useful shorthand but conceals scale: Dominion long claimed service to many local jurisdictions — earlier corporate and third‑party reporting placed Dominion in hundreds to thousands of jurisdictions and serving tens of millions of voters [4] [6]. State examples such as Colorado, where county officials said 60 of 64 counties used Dominion machines, illustrate how statewide penetration can differ dramatically by state [7].
2. Why a single “jurisdiction count” is elusive
A definitive nationwide count of jurisdictions “still using” Dominion hardware or software as of 2025 is hard to produce from the public record because sources use different metrics — states that have any Dominion equipment, counties using devices statewide, or individual local contracts — and because equipment ownership, certification status and vendor names were in flux after the company’s sale and rebranding [5] [8] [9]. Historical summaries note thousands of jurisdictions in past years (e.g., older figures citing 1,600 jurisdictions in 2016), but those are snapshots and not authoritative for late‑2025 after ownership and certification changes [4] [6].
3. Where to find current procurement lists (best sources and how to use them)
Authoritative, up‑to‑date procurement data requires consulting several places: Verified Voting maintains state‑by‑state maps and vendor trackers used by journalists and officials (cited by multiple outlets) and is a good national starting point [5] [10]. State election offices publish certified voting system lists and county‑level deployment maps — for example, the Florida Division of Elections posted county usage showing Dominion in 18 Florida counties in 2024 [1]. The U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) posts certified systems and vendor filings; Liberty Vote/Dominion itself has announced EAC certification activity and withdrawal of legacy systems on its site, which helps identify systems still being supported or retired [8]. Finally, county clerk or board of elections procurement pages and contract records provide the granular local confirmation that national trackers may miss — examples cited in local reporting include Colorado county confirmations [7].
4. Which numbers to trust and why agendas matter
Trackers and officials converge on the “27 states” headline, but the precise local jurisdiction count is sensitive to timing, legal certification windows and procurement cycles; officials cautioned that changing equipment is costly and slow, so systems in use in 2024 were likely still in place for 2025 in many places [9] [7]. The sale of Dominion to a company run by a former Republican elections official introduced political subtext — reporting flagged potential motives to expand market share into conservative jurisdictions and noted officials’ worries about notice and transparency — meaning some sources may emphasize either continuity or change depending on editorial stance [2] [11] [10].
5. Bottom line and how to confirm locally
The defensible national summary for 2025 is that Dominion (doing business as Liberty Vote after the sale) had been used across 27 states for the 2024 cycle and continued to operate in many local jurisdictions into 2025, with thousands of local contracts historically documented though no single public count in the provided reporting gives an exact nationwide jurisdiction tally for late‑2025 [1] [2] [4]. For a precise, current list in any state or county, consult Verified Voting for a national overview, the relevant state election office’s certified systems and county procurement or election office contract pages, and the EAC certified product/vendor listings and vendor filings [5] [1] [8].
