A <b>Risk-Limiting Audit</b>, also sometimes referred to as the Result-Conforming Audit
is a method of post-election audit designed to confirm the election results by examining a small sample of
the votes. The <b>Risk Limit</b> is the maximum probability that the audit will not detect
any error in election result when it is present. The error here refers to the case when the
candidate/party declared as the winner in a given constituency is not the actual winner who
would be reported by a full-hand manual count of the votes.
</p>
<p>
There are quite a many tools for performing risk-limiting audit, the prominent of them being the
Ballot Polling and the Ballot Comparison Audit. This page implemenets the tools for performing
Ballot Polling Audit in a simpler manner. The original Ballot Polling audit as implemented by
Philip Stark can be found on his webpage. Stark has also developed tools for <b>Ballot Comparison Audit</b>
which can be reached using the navigation links on the top of the page.

The expected sample size calculations for this method depend on the risk limit and the
reported margins. It is calculated assuming that the reported margins are correct.
</p>
<p>
Risk limiting method audits the ballots at random using a random number generator. If the random sample gives
sufficient evidence that the election outcome is correct then the audit stops. Else if convincing evidence
is not attained, we keep auditing the ballots until we have audited all the ballots, in which case the
exact election outcome is known to us. This is based on the assumption that the manual auditing represents
the ground truth and is error-free.
</p>
<p>
The tools on this webpage have been divided into sections depending upon their usage. The following lists the
tools and their utility in the audit process.
</p>
<ul>
<li><b>Contest Details: </b> In this you have to fill in the information about the contest which will help in
interpreting the results. </li>
<li><b>Random Sampling: </b>This helps you to generate a random sequence of numbers which
tell the sequence in which the ballots should be audited.</li>
<li><b>Ballot Look-up: </b>This will help find those ballots using a ballot manifest</li>
<li><b>Wald's Probability Ratio Test: </b>This is a live tool used to determine whether the audit can stop,
given the votes on the ballots in the sample.</li>

<p>
The initial sample size tool lets you enter the particulars of the contest to be
audited, the total ballots cast in the contest, and the vote totals for each
candidate in the contest.
The form helps you anticipate the number of randomly selected
ballots that might need to be inspected to attain a given limit on the risk,
under the assumption that the reported percentages for each candidate
are correct.
It is completely legitimate to sample one at a time and check whether enough have been
sampled using the <b>Audit Progress Tool</b> but this
form can help auditors anticipate how many ballots the audit is likely to require
and to retrieve ballots more efficiently, by reducing the number of times a given batch of
ballots is opened.
</p>
<p>
Enter the details in the form as per the following guidelines.
<ul>
<li>Enter the total number of ballots cast in the contest.</li>
<li>Specify the name of the contest.</li>
<li>Add or remove the required number of candidates using the appropriate buttons.</li>
<li>Enter the candidate name and the reported number of votes secured by him/her in the contest.</li>
<li>Specify the risk-limit to which to audit the contest.
</ul>
</p>
<p>
Once you are done filling up all the details, kindly proceed to the next tab to find the random
sample of ballots to be audited.

<p>
Taking a larger initial sample can avoid needing to expand the sample later,
depending on the rate of ballots for each candidate in the sample.
Avoiding "escalation" can make the audit less complicated.
</p>
<p>
The number of ballots the audit must examine before stopping depends on the smallest
diluted margin among the contests to be audited together (as well as the risk limit,
the errors the audit finds, and so on).
All else equal, the larger the diluted margin is, the smaller the sample size needs to be.
</p>
<p>
Because the diluted margin is the smallest margin in votes divided by the total number of
