OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — A post-election audit conducted after Oklahoma's June Primary Elections and the state's voting system was a 100% match of the certified election results.
"Oklahomans can be proud that our state has a voting system that is accurate and secure. Post-election audits and manual recounts in Oklahoma have proven it over and over again," Ziriax said. Post-election audits were first authorized by the Legislature in 2019, and are now a routine part of the election process.
Ziriax directed 76 of the 77 counties to conduct manual tabulation audits of ballots in randomly-selected races across the state.
Carter County did not have to do this audit because they county election board had already completed a countywide, candidate-requested recount of the sheriff's primary.
That recount matched the unofficial results in that particular race.
The post-election audit report is now available on the State Election Board's website.
Ziriax noted that recent independent reviews of Oklahoma's election system have shown it to be safe and secure – including a Governor's Task Force study and an analysis by the Legislative Office of Fiscal Transparency.
