Secretary of the State Denise Merrill selects 73 districts statewide for the post-primary audit.
The number of districts is less than usual given an increasing trend for towns to use all paper for primary elections thus avoiding the work of the audit, which would simply count the paper under more ideal conditions than election night.
Next time it will likely be even fewer, with the passage of S.B. 252 which will cut the audit in half.
