The bill amends the law regarding election audits by allowing the State Board of Election Commissioners to conduct audits of counties based on specific circumstances related to the accuracy of previous elections. It modifies the existing language in Arkansas Code 7-4-121(a)(2)(A) to clarify the process for selecting counties, polling sites, early voting locations, and vote centers for audits.

Under the new provisions, if a county is found to have less than 100% accuracy in an audit of the preceding preferential primary or general election, that county will be required to undergo an audit in the subsequent election. This change aims to enhance the integrity of the electoral process by ensuring that counties with discrepancies are closely monitored in future elections.
