The Michigan Bureau of Elections and bipartisan county and local election clerks will conduct more than 200 public audits of the November 8th 2022 election. Precinct-level audits will review election administration procedures as well as identify best practices for future elections.
To test the accuracy of the state’s voting tabulation machines, the Bureau, along with dozens of clerks, will participate in a statewide audit using randomly selected batches of ballots.
The process began yesterday with a bipartisan group of elected officials meeting in Lansing. There was a livestream link of the event posted on the Michigan Department of State social media accounts.
The Bureau expects to have all audits completed by February 17th, with results being shared with the Board of State Canvassers in a public meeting.
