County election boards must run audits
Beginning November 1, 2025, the Secretary of the State Election Board must tell every county to run post-election audits after regular state election dates. Audits check that voting machines and software counted votes correctly. The Secretary decides how and when audits happen, and audits only occur when the Secretary directs them. An audit is a manual or electronic check of a limited number of ballots by county election officials. Counties must send their audit results to the Secretary and make the report public.
