Houston County to conduct postelection review of election results

On November 18, 2024, Houston County officials will conduct postelection reviews of election results to boost transparency in the election system. Minnesota counties are required to administer a postelection review between 11 and 18 days after each general election to confirm the accuracy of results ahead of the state certification. These events are open to members of the public. The review is a hand count of the ballots for specific offices in select precincts.

The postelection review for La Crescent P1 and Money Creek Township will be held on Nov. 18, 2024 beginning at 9:00 am. in Room B11 in the Houston County Historic Courthouse.

Post-election reviews are one layer of security to ensure our elections are free, fair, secure, and accurate. In each county, a certain number of precincts are randomly selected at the county canvass. The ballots from those precincts are then hand counted to make sure that the results the voting machines reported on Election Day are an accurate reflection of the marked ballots. Results must meet the acceptable performance standards outlined in statute; otherwise, additional precincts must be reviewed.
