Election auditing is the process of independently reviewing a process or system to ensure compliance with election laws, policies, and standards. Election audits help ensure the election outcome is reliable and valid by providing evidence that the election is conducted properly, that only eligible voters participated, and that the outcomes are accurate. The foundation of a functioning democracy rests on the trust citizens place in the electoral process. Any perceived or actual vulnerabilities, manipulation, or interference can undermine public confidence in the fairness and accuracy of elections. Therefore, audits and auditing should be considered a cornerstone in the complex system of election administration. Audits promote transparency and security and help promote voter and stakeholder confidence in the election administration process and consequently the legitimacy in the outcomes of elections and is something we consider here.
