Connecticut to Audit Ballot Counts at 49 Randomly Chosen Polling Places
Connecticut will audit hand counts of ballots at 49 polling places randomly selected from 973 statewide, the secretary of the state's office announced. The audit, required after each election, samples 5 percent of precincts, with 17 alternates also drawn. Results are due by Nov. 23. Nine towns covering 10 polling places were named in the initial draw.
The University of Connecticut will independently analyze the audit data, and the State Elections Enforcement Commission will publish the findings. Officials said the post-election audit is a routine safeguard designed to verify the accuracy of tabulator counts and maintain public confidence in the results.
