(Red Oak, Iowa) – Montgomery County Auditor Stephanie Burke reports the County conducted a post- election audit today (June 15th), under the law designed to monitor and protect election processes. Burke said the audit was a perfect match to the results canvassed for the 2022 Primary Election.

The law requires the Secretary of State to call for a post-election audit in a randomly chosen precinct in each county. County Auditors supervise a hand count of votes in a given race on the ballots from that precinct. By random selection, Precinct 1 was audited. The polling place location for Precinct 1 is the Gold Fair Building. Burke said “We have high confidence in the security measures we take for elections, but the post-election audit is a good way to prove that the confidence is well-founded.”
