What is a Risk-Limiting Audit (RLA)?
A Risk-Limiting Audit is a routine, post-election process used to check the accuracy of election results. Using a method called batch comparison, election officials manually count votes on selected groups of paper ballots and compare those totals with the voting equipment’s reported results.
The public is welcome to observe. The meeting will take place only if the 5th Congressional District is selected. Approved Electoral Board meeting minutes will be available on the Prince Edward County website.
