Post-Election Audits by State Auditor.

This bill requires the North Carolina State Auditor to conduct post-election audits of election procedures in various counties after each general election is certified. The audits will focus on specific areas such as voter roll accuracy, voting equipment testing, ballot records, and compliance with state and federal laws, with the goal of identifying any errors, inefficiencies, or security vulnerabilities. While the audits must cover all county boards of elections within a reasonable time, the findings cannot be used to challenge the final results of an election. If problems are discovered, the affected county must submit a plan to fix them, and the State Auditor will publish periodic reports detailing the findings for government officials and the public.
