What We Audit

Our trained validators examine every dimension of your petition, producing a complete, court-ready defect record against current state standards and up-to-date QVF voter rolls.

Page-Level Defects

Check every page for form deficiencies, circulator certification errors, missing notarizations, and page-level compliance issues.

Full QVF Lookup

Every signer line is run against the current Qualified Voter File to verify registration status, address, and jurisdictional eligibility.

Line Defect Check

Verify addresses, jurisdictions, and dates on every signer line. Flag duplicates, non-residents, and unregistered signers.

Document & Exhibit List

Receive a complete final support document and exhibit list ready for administrative proceedings or court submission.

Included in Every Setup Fee

Setup Audit Included

Every engagement includes a setup audit as part of your setup fee — at no additional charge. We review your petition structure, circulator certification pages, and form compliance before full processing begins, so issues are caught early.

  • Project intake & scope confirmation
  • Deadline checklist established
  • Pre-audit form compliance review

Important

Candidate petition matters are reviewed in full under all audit tiers.

Sample audits are available only for statewide initiatives, referenda, and ballot measures — not for candidate nominating petitions. If you are challenging or defending a candidate petition, the Candidate Petition Audit (full review) applies.

Our Process

From intake to final report, every audit follows a structured, transparent workflow.

Project Intake

Petition materials received, scope confirmed, and contract executed.

Deadline Checklist

Filing deadlines mapped; audit schedule confirmed against your timeline.

Defect Identification

Page-level and line-level defects catalogued with state-standard reason codes.

Data Setup

QVF loaded and cross-referenced; data costs confirmed and itemized.

Final Report

Evidence-ready report and exhibit list delivered; success bonus applied where negotiated.
