Virginia

As of our most recent update (December, 2011), Virginia does not have audit laws. In 2008, Virginia granted the State Board of Elections the authority to run local pilots of post-election audits. See Section 24.2-671.1, “Pilot programs for audits of optical scan tabulators”: http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?000+cod+24.2-671.1. While the pilot program was carried out, no legislation regarding audits has since been adopted. A review of the pilot program by Virginia's Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission can be read at: http://jlarc.virginia.gov/reports/Rpt400.pdf
