CASE Ohio Reports

By Ohio Joint Audit Working Group (working with CASE Ohio)

Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner published directives that led to the first post election audits in Ohio. Directive 2008-39 specified voluntary pilot audits after the March Primary election and Directive 2008-113 called for all counties to do audits for the Presidential contest after the November General election. Performing regular post election audits is a vitally important step in measuring and improving election processes in Ohio as well as restoring voter confidence in these processes. Secretary Brunner and all Boards of Elections (BOE’s) that carried out these audits are to be commended for their efforts.

The Audit Review includes

• Summary of observer comments by County
• Findings and Recommendations based on the observer comments
• A review of Directive 2008-113
