Indiana

Indiana law permits limited post-election audits.

Indiana Code 31-11-13-37 through 31-11-13-41 provides for auditing in a county that uses optically-scanned paper ballots. The county election board shall "confirm the votes cast in an election" for each candidate and each public question, within 12 days after the election, in no more than 5 % of precincts or 5 precincts (whichever is greater), if the county chair of a political party petitions for "confirmation of the vote" no earlier than Saturday before the election and no later than Thursday after the election. There is no similar provision for auditing the vote in a county that uses DREs.

Indiana established a statewide "Voting System Technical Oversight Program" (VSTOP) in 2005 under Indiana Code 3-11-16-2. VSTOP, which is currently conducted by the Bowen Center for Public Affairs at Ball State University, is charged with the duties listed in Indiana Code 3-11-16-4, including performing annual random audits and preparing “reports indicating whether the voting systems have been certified, programmed, and used in compliance with Indiana law.”
