About this event
The public is invited to observe the Boulder County Election Division’s 2026 General Election risk-limiting audit (RLA) beginning on Tuesday, Nov. 17. The risk-limiting audit is a test that helps ensure the accuracy of election results and provides the public with evidence that election outcomes reflect the votes cast by voters on their ballots. To ensure tabulation was accurate, the process reviews how a ballot’s votes were captured at the time it was processed by comparing a sample of paper ballots with digital tallies. To learn more about risk-limiting audits, see the Secretary of State’s FAQs on the RLA. Testing will begin with seal verification starting at 10 a.m. Presentation and ballot pulling to begin at 12:30 p.m. The RLA could continue into Wednesday, Nov. 18, and Thursday, Nov. 19, if necessary. Please RSVP by Monday, Nov. 16 at 5:00 p.m. to Vote@BoulderCounty.gov as space is limited.
