CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Voters who are concerned or just curious about the accuracy of North Carolina’s voting machines can watch Wednesday as state elections officials randomly choose precincts, early voting sites and absentee-by-mail ballots to be counted by hand.
State law requires county and state Boards of Elections to conduct audits after each election to ensure voting machines are correctly tabulating the results. It’s just one of multiple post-election audits aimed at ensuring accurate elections, the state website noted.
This year’s audit of the 2022 general election will start at 1 p.m. Wednesday in the board room of the State Board of Elections office on North Salisbury Street in Raleigh. Voters can watch live online via Microsoft Teams or watch the video later on the State Board of Elections website.
