The Board of Elections is responsible for ensuring that federal, state, and local elections are conducted in a timely, responsible manner and with the highest level of professional electoral standards, responsibility, security, and integrity. Their mission is to earn and maintain public trust in the electoral process. The Elections Division administers and administers counties' election policies, programs, and resources to an extent that meets public and private interests and is consistent with state and federal regulations and mandates. Candidates who do not pass the primary elections must remove their posters within 15 days of the primary election.
In cases where the final election is held within 75 days of the primary election, candidates who have won the primary election may continue to display their posters during the interim period and up to seven days after the final election. The results of the state elections, both current and past, are available on the State Board of Elections website. These types of audits, which are carried out after an election and before the certification of election results, can confirm that voting systems tabulated paper ballots accurately enough for a full manual count to yield the same result. County election boards are required to make a statistical count of a random sample of at least 2% of the votes cast or 2000 votes, whichever number is lower. One of the objectives of these pilot projects was to test models and best practices to improve post-election audits, scientifically designed to reinforce the integrity of elections, confirm the accuracy of election results, and reinforce voter confidence. We recommend that you check the status of your registration by contacting your local county board of elections. The process of certifying election results in Howard County is overseen by the Board of Elections.
