Post-Election Audits

Audits are an important part of ensuring every election is conducted accurately, securely and transparently. As part of the process, we’ll review key election records, including:

  • In-person and absentee voter lists
  • Election Inspector applications
  • Election Commission minutes
  • Public Accuracy Test ballots
  • Ballot applications

We’ll also conduct a full hand count of all ballots and vote totals from the May 5, 2026 Special Election.

Audit selections are made randomly by the Michigan Secretary of State’s Office.
