50 State Post-Vote Guide

How We Count, Canvass, Certify, and Audit Our Elections

One of the biggest challenges we’ve faced in undergoing research into the vote counting and certification processes gaining a comprehensive overview of post-vote processes across states. This 50 State Post-Vote Guide seeks to solve that problem, providing an overview of the counting and certification processes across all 50 states. This overview contains high-level details about the counting and certification processes in each state, along with citations and links to use as a jumping-off point for further research. 

We hope that this database will serve as a resource for advocates and policy makers, litigators, the press, and the public for better understanding how the vote counting and certification process work across our nation.
