In Germany, everyone is allowed to watch when votes are counted in their local election office. Is there a similar way to follow the counting in the US?

- tathougies 7y agoYes, you can observe the counting at your local county office in every state as far as I'm aware. Exact regulations vary by state of course: http://www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/policies-for-election-observers.aspx http://www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/policie...
- donarb 7y agoHere is Washington state you are allowed (in fact encouraged) to visit the counting center during tabulation. This is addition to designated observers from each party that is allowed to monitor tabulations. Voters don't even have to leave home to monitor the elections, cameras are connected to the internet to show the counting process to any voter.
