Post-election audits are a routine safeguard designed to ensure votes are counted accurately, the office said in a statement. </p><p>The office chose the 49 precincts, plus 17 alternates, by rolling dice. </p><p>“We don’t wait to hear about something going wrong before we go back and check our results,” Thomas said. “I’ve talked all election season about people, paper, and proof. Now we’re at the paper and proof stage: going back to our paper ballots and checking whether the machines counted them accurately.” </p><p>Connecticut General Statutes § 9-320f requires that 5% of all voting precincts have their machine totals audited. The election used 973 precincts. </p><p>For the election audit, bipartisan local election officials in the 49 selected precincts will re-tabulate the voter-marked paper ballots and compare those results with what the tabulators reported on Election Day. </p><p>Officials in the selected precincts must complete their audits by Nov. 23. They will then send the reports to UConn for independent analysis. UConn will return its findings to the Secretary of the State’s Office, which will file them with the State Elections Enforcement Commission, Thomas said. The office will also make the findings public. </p><h2>The 49 polling places selected for the election audit:</h2><ul><li>Berlin – Willard School</li><li>Bethany – Bethany Town Hall</li><li>Bloomfield – Carmen Arace Middle School</li><li>Bridgeport – Dunbar School</li><li>Canaan – Canaan Town Hall</li><li>Chaplin – Chaplin Volunteer Fire Department</li><li>Cheshire – Highland School 6-1</li><li>Columbia – Yeomans Hall</li><li>Derby – City Hall Central Count (absentee ballot and same-day registration)</li><li>East Haven – Momauguin School 2</li><li>East Lyme – Niantic Center School</li><li>East Windsor – Town Hall Annex 1</li><li>Enfield – Enfield Town Hall Central Count (absentee ballot and same-day registration)</li><li>Greenwich – North Street School</li><li>Griswold – Early Voting Town Hall</li><li>Hamden – Dunbar Hill School 7-2</li><li>Hamden – Hamden Government Center (absentee ballot and same-day registration)</li><li>Hartford – Annie Fisher School</li><li>Harwinton – Assembly Room 31</li><li>Kent – Kent Town Hall</li><li>Killingly – Board of Education Central Office Cafeteria 1-1</li><li>Manchester – Robertson School</li><li>Manchester – Whiton Library Auditorium</li><li>Marlborough – Early Voting Town Hall Meeting Room</li><li>Montville – Town Hall Gym 1</li><li>New Britain – Gaffney School</li><li>New Haven – Celentano Museum Academy 19-2</li><li>New Haven – Ross Woodward 12-2</li><li>New Haven – Wexler Grant School 22-2</li><li>New Haven – King Robinson School</li><li>New Haven – Benjamin Jepson Magnet School</li><li>Newington – District 5 John Patterson Elementary School</li><li>North Branford – Stanley T.
