The 1% Manual Tally begins Thursday, November 13, 2025.
Observers are welcome to view the random selection process and the manual tally at the Monterey County Elections Department located at 1441 Schilling Place – North Building, in Salinas.
“The 1% manual tally is one of numerous audits taken to ensure the integrity and accuracy of the vote count.” According to Gina Martinez, Registrar of Voters. “The process is completely open to public observation.”
During the official canvass following each election, the elections official randomly selects batches of ballots to manually tally and compare against official reports from the computer vote count system. Although the process is known as the 1% Manual Tally, far more ballots are selected to reflect both categories of voting: vote by mail ballots and polling place ballots. In addition, additional batches are selected to ensure each ballot scanner has a manual tally comparison to system reports.
