Post-Election Audits Confirm Accuracy of June Elections
On Monday, State Election Board Secretary Paul Ziriax announced that post-election audits conducted following Oklahoma's June Primary Elections confirmed the accuracy of the state's voting system with a 100% match of the certified election results.
"Oklahomans can be proud that our state has a voting system that is accurate and secure. Post-election audits and manual recounts in Oklahoma have proven it over and over again," Ziriax said. 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. (Ziriax exempted Carter County from the audit requirement because the county election board had just completed a countywide, candidate-requested recount of a sheriff's primary. The recount exactly matched the unofficial results in that race. Details are included in the audit report.)
The post-election audit report is now available on the State Election Board's website.
Ziriax noted that recent independent reviews of Oklahoma's election system have shown it to be safe and secure – including a Governor's Task Force study and an analysis by the Legislative Office of Fiscal Transparency.

As a reminder, OK uses paper ballots, has Voter ID (since 2010!), and citizen only voters, of which most vote in person on election day. Election results are available within days of an election, with certification of the results among the earliest in the nation.
Yes, I have made many trips back home because I forgot my wallet, and that's with people I've known all my life working the polls.
They also post the totals on the front door,right after the polls close.
Yep.
And the precincts are sized just right to enable this on purpose.
I have to drive about 4 blocks to vote and I vote in the church I attend. Never more that a 15 minute wait and usually no wait at all.
