Adds to existing law to provide for the post-election audit of ballots.
ELECTIONS -- Adds to existing law to provide for the post-election audit of ballots.
ELECTIONS
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
This legislation would authorize the Secretary of State to order a post-election audit of election results after a general or primary election, using procedures he would provide to county clerks at least 60 days prior to the election. Conducting such an audit would increase public confidence in election results by checking the paper ballots, which exist for each and every vote cast in Idaho, against the election results that counties tabulate and report. If problems are identified with any reported election results, the Secretary of State could order the audit of additional ballots.
