DeKalb County voters will soon see an important step in maintaining democratic integrity. The DeKalb County Voter Registration and Elections announced that a risk-limiting audit will be conducted for ballots cast in Tuesday's General/Special Election.
As detailed on the DeKalb County website, the audit is scheduled to start on November 15 at the Stonecrest office of the DeKalb County Voter Registration and Elections. The specific contests to be audited will be guided by O.C.G.A. § 21-2-498 and will be publicly released and listed on the Secretary of State's webpage.
For those interested in election transparency, the audit offers a chance to observe the process, as it is open to the public. DeKalb County residents can attend the audit sessions, which will continue until the end of the day on November 19, unless finished earlier.
