Review & Launch

After all setup screens are completed and all jurisdictions have uploaded their files, it is time to launch the audit.

First, take a moment to review all of the audit settings for accuracy. Arlo provides all of the details for final review.

The sample size for each contest will be displayed on the screen.

For ballot polling audits, the BRAVO (Ballot-polling Risk-limiting Audits to Verify Outcome) sample size is the most efficient number of ballots the RLA math thinks is necessary to complete the audit. Some jurisdictions choose to use that sample size knowing there is a higher possibility of needing to do an additional round of sampling to attain the risk limit. Arlo provides options, allowing you to pick a larger sample size for the first round to create a smaller possibility of retrieving ballots in a second round.

At this point, there are two options. The first is Preview Sample. This allows for a quick check to ensure the sample appears correct. A list of jurisdictions and their sample size will be displayed.

Select Launch Audit to officially begin the audit.
