Post-Election Audit Selection of Idaho Counties, Precincts

(Boise, Idaho) – Members of the Idaho Board of Canvassers, Secretary of State Phil McGrane, and Controller Brandon Woolf, conducted the post-election audit draw today for Idaho’s May 19 Primary Election. The audit drawing took place at the Idaho State Capitol.

Under Idaho law, the Secretary of State conducts post-election audits following even-year primary and general elections to help verify the accuracy of election tabulation. Counties and precincts selected for the audit were drawn at random.

Secretary of State audit teams will visit the selected counties to conduct a hand count of ballots and compare those results with the official county canvass. The audit schedule is listed below and is also available at VoteIdaho.gov.

“Transparency is essential to maintaining confidence in our elections,” said Secretary Phil McGrane. “Post-election audits are one of the many ways we verify the accuracy of election results and demonstrate that Idaho’s election process is working as it should. These audits provide an additional layer of accountability and help reinforce public trust that every vote is counted accurately.”
