Primary Election Results to be Audited at 52 Selected Voting Precincts
Press Releases
08/22/2026
(Hartford, Conn.) — Thursday, the Office of the Secretary of the State randomly selected 52 precincts from the August 11, 2026, Primary Election to have their machine totals audited. There were also 20 alternates chosen in case the selected precincts cannot be audited for any reason.
Connecticut General Statutes § 9‑320f requires that five percent of all voting precincts, including central-count locations for absentee ballots, have their machine totals audited following any election or primary.
There were 1,031 precincts used during the August Primary Election. Four were excluded from the drawing because they are subject to a discrepancy recount, leaving 1,027 districts eligible for selection.
Bipartisan local election officials in the 52 selected precincts will re-tabulate the voter-marked paper ballots and compare those results with what the tabulators reported on Election Day. To assist municipalities conducting electronic audits, the University of Connecticut will make audit equipment available at the Secretary of the State’s Office at 165 Capitol Avenue in early September.
Audit reports will then go to the University of Connecticut for independent analysis, and the findings will be made available to the public. If the numbers don’t line up, the process doesn’t end there: discrepancies are investigated, and state law can require a recanvass.
