The Worcester County Board of Elections will manually tally a sample of votes cast for U.S. Senator and compare the results of the manual tally against the results from the voting system. This process will determine whether the voting system accurately counted ballots during the 2024 General Election.
The State Board of Elections randomly selected the early voting center and election day precincts to be audited, and the Worcester County Board of Elections will manually tally the votes for U.S. Senator on:
1. 99 ballots cast on one scanning unit on the 1st day of early voting at Roland Powell Community Center
