Uintah County Shares Election Audits And Canvass Information

The General Election took place a week ago but there are still several steps to complete before results are final. Uintah County’s local post-election Audit is taking place today at 9am. The Election Canvass, which reviews and certifies the final election results, is scheduled in Uintah County for November 17th at 3:30 p.m. Today’s Audit and the upcoming Canvass are open to the public. Uintah County also reports that in 2023, the Utah Legislature passed House Bill 269, requiring the Office of the Legislative Auditor General to review Utah’s election system and safeguards every two years. This is separate from the local Audit. “Uintah County Clerk-Auditor’s Office falls within the statewide review,” shares the Uintah County announcement. “Auditors can examine voter registration, ballot handling, counting procedures, and other election practices. County officials must cooperate and provide access as required by law. These reviews help identify gaps, recommend improvements, and hold election officials accountable.”
