A 101 on Post-Election Monitoring Tasks
Post-Election Monitoring: Call Your Local Election Official
Watch it! Inquire about your local post-election observation protocols and the schedule, so that you may observe the reconciliation of tallies (e.g., absentees provisionals, audits). You may locate your state's election local official with this helpful search directory created by the League of Women Voters.
Rights and protocols vary, but see our California's Post-Election Monitoring Tasks for what is typical in many states, and what to look for.
