New Hampshire postelection audits for electronic vote-counting equipment

Summary

New Hampshire has implemented new postelection audits to verify the accuracy of electronic vote-counting equipment. This legislation, signed by Governor Chris Sununu in July, is designed to ensure the integrity of the election process and was put into effect in time for the state’s recent primary elections.

The audits allow the New Hampshire Secretary of State’s office to conduct checks on the electronic voting systems to confirm they functioned properly. A random selection of ten polling locations is chosen for these audits, which assess the accuracy of vote-counting devices against expected margins. The successful completion of these audits during the primary indicates a proactive approach to maintaining public confidence in the electoral process, especially in light of ongoing discussions about election integrity nationwide.
