• Jurisdiction: Wyoming
• Title 22: Elections
• Ch. 6: BALLOTS

Text

(a) Each county clerk shall complete an audit of the
county's unofficial election results by identifying and
reviewing the smallest observable percentage between the
statewide candidates who received the most votes and the
statewide candidates who received the second highest votes for
each contest within the county not later than the first Thursday
following a primary, special or general election. Additional
contests may be added to the audit at the discretion of the
county clerk. Using a formula developed by the University of
Wyoming, each county clerk shall use the smallest observable
percentage to determine a statistically significant sample size
of the ballots to be audited under this section. To ensure the
timely completion of this procedure under this subsection, the
number of ballots audited shall not exceed five percent (5%) of
the total number of ballots cast.
(b) Each county clerk shall conduct an audit of the
election using the statistically significant ballot sample size
and the corresponding ballots for the contests selected for
audit determined under subsection (a) of this section. Each
county clerk shall provide the audit results to the secretary of
state not later than one (1) day before the meeting of the state
canvassing board as provided in W.S. 22-16-118.
