They involve examining a sample of ballots, voting equipment, and vote totals to ensure results reflect voters' intentions and that there were no errors or fraud. These audits help maintain confidence in the electoral system by identifying discrepancies, confirming results, and enhancing transparency. They are a crucial part of election integrity, providing an independent check to ensure elections are fair and accurately recorded.
