Six days after last week's General Election, it's time for the post-election audit of results.
The Sedgwick County Election Office is conducting a close-race audit Monday.
Kansas Secretary of State Scott Schwab announced the audit for six races: Governor; Secretary of State; Attorney General; and three State House of Representatives Districts.
This happens when the difference between the top two vote-getters in the unofficial results on election night is within 1%. In a close-race audit, the results are double-checked in 10% of the precincts in each county.
At the statewide level, several races have not been called yet by The Associated Press. This includes the governor’s race between a pair of state senators, Democrat Cindy Holscher and Republican Ty Masterson. Another race in play is for secretary of state between Democrat Jennifer Day and Republican Pat Proctor.
Holscher has claimed victory in the race, leading Masterson by 7,638 votes as of early Monday.
Tuesday, Dec. 1, four weeks after the election, is the final day for the State Board of Canvassers to certify the official results in Kansas.
