15. Jurisdictional Audit Explained www.ncsbe.gov  Just because you have a number greater than Zero in the Audit may not mean there is an issue. The following can be reasons for audits showing voters in the incorrect jurisdiction: 1.Some addresses may not plot exactly on a map, especially in rural areas. Ever put an address in your GPS and ended up somewhere else? 2.Addresses for college, military and apartment complexes sometime yield incorrect points on the map. 3.Incorrect street ranges in Geocode 4.Counties using incorrect addressing standards from the voter application.

16. Jurisdictional Audit Explained www.ncsbe.gov  So how can we get better results? 1.Currently we have around 51 of the county E911 addressing files. We are currently working with all counties to receive all county E911 files which will help with better addressing points on the map. 2.Counties should send the NOGEOPTS file to their county GIS department. The GIS department can then locate the correct address point for our system and send it back to us so that we may update our master address database. 3.Soon, counties will have the ability to correct their own address points in their audit if that point was incorrectly placed on the map by the state’s audit system.
