N.J.S.A. 19:61-9 Audits of election results
Requires each county board of elections (BOE) to perform a traditional, fixed percentage audit after every General Election. The current law requires each BOE to audit a random sample of at least 2% of the election districts in which each audited election contest appears on the ballot. Each county BOE will conduct a hand-to-eye manual count of the voter-verifiable paper records and compare those results to the results produced by the voting machine. This 2% audit of election districts is required to be conducted on all voter-verifiable paper records.
In accordance with N.J.S.A. 19:61-9c(7), after the completion of audit, the results will be announced publicly and posted on the website of the Secretary of State and shall include a post-audit report from each county indicating the audit units selected, and any discrepancies between the official results and the results from the hand-to-eye count.
