For Immediate Release: Friday, July 10, 2026
State law requires that election officials conduct a risk-limiting audit after each primary and general election (Election Law Article, §11-309 of the Annotated Code of Maryland).
The Montgomery County Board of Elections will conduct the risk-limiting audit of the 2026 Primary Election starting on Tuesday, July 14, 2026, at 10AM. This audit may take approximately one day to complete and will take place at the Montgomery County Board of Elections Training and Canvass Center, located at 18753 N. Frederick Avenue, Suite 203, Gaithersburg, MD 20879.
The audit is open to the public and it will be livestreamed (link will be available on our website 777vote.org). Members of the public must follow the Rules of Conduct for Post-Election Audit Observers and elections officials’ directions while observing the risk-limiting audit.
The Montgomery County Board of Elections will manually tally a sample of votes cast in Republican primary election for governor and compare the results of the manual tally against the results from our voting system. This process will confirm the accuracy of reported results of the 2026 Primary Election.
