Audit Talking Points

Download the templates:

Audits can increase voter confidence in elections. But only when voters know about them.

We developed these talking point templates to help election officials talk about audits. You can use one set to talk about the release of your audit report. And use the other set to talk about audits in general.

Download and tailor these talking points to fit your audit or audit report and any policies, practices and requirements in your jurisdiction. The Elections Group’s Communications Resource Desk team is available to assist you with tailoring these talking points or developing  other talking points for you. Let us know what you need or how we can assist you.

In a national survey, conducted between Oct. 25 and Nov. 4, 2024, our audit templates with visuals boosted participants’ confidence in elections. One key finding: Providing voters with information about audits increases trust and confidence in the audited election. Read about all the key findings of the national survey here.
