TOPEKA 鈥� In accordance with and K.A.R. 7-41-1, the Office of Secretary of State will conduct the random selection of races to be audited from the 2022 primary election. The selection will take place at 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, August 3, 2022, in the Memorial Hall auditorium in Topeka, 麻豆影院.
鈥淧ost-election audits promote election transparency and provide verification of election results,鈥� said Schwab. 鈥淪ince 2019, over 300 post-election audits have been conducted and every county has successfully passed the required audit. I encourage my fellow Kansans to observe the post-election audit process for this year鈥檚 primary election.鈥�
