The Oklahoma State Election Board says an audit of the June primary election shows the state voting system is accurate and secure.

 

 State election Board Secretary Paul Ziriax stated yesterday that the post-election audits and manual recounts in Oklahoma have proven repeatedly that the state has a voting system that Oklahomans con be confident in and proud of.

 

 Post-election audits were first authorized by the Legislature in 2019, and are now a routine part of the election process. 

 

Following the June 18 Primary Elections, Ziriax directed 76 of 77 counties to conduct manual tabulation audits of ballots in randomly-selected races across the state. The audits were open to the public and included Election Day precincts, in-person absentee ballots and mail absentee ballots. Carter County in south central Oklahoma was exempted from the audit because it had recently completed a county-wide recount at the request of a candidate in the county sheriff's race.
