In Washington, each county conducts a post-election audit after every election.

There are two types of post-election audit conducted in Washington:
Random Batch Audit
A random check of ballot counting equipment, commonly known as a random batch audit, compares a hand count of ballots to the voting system count in selected batches or precincts. This check occurs within 48 hours of election day. (RCW 29A.60.170)

Random Ballot Audit
A random ballot audit, also known as a risk-limiting audit (RLA), uses statistics to help verify election outcomes. Ballots are randomly selected for review, then compared to the voting system record.

Here’s an updated **alt text** for the new graphic:

At the bottom left, a cartoon ballot envelope character named ‘Mark the Ballot’ smiles while holding an official ballot and a magnifying glass.
