By law, each counting machine in Nebraska is tested ahead of every election for programming accuracy. Separate tests are conducted by staff of different party affiliations to verify the accuracy of each counting machine.

These logic and accuracy tests are performed on all counting machines before each election.

Following each state-wide election, the Secretary of State randomly identifies precincts for manual audits. This hand count verifies the machine counts, and any discrepancies will be noted in the official canvas report.
