Why this matters
Post-election audits are a core mechanism for verifying reported outcomes and building confidence in Michigan’s election results. SB 943 would extend the existing audit framework by making audits of certain contests a routine requirement after every primary and general election, affecting workload and procedures for the Secretary of State and local clerks.
