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.
