scrutineers
Official ballot examiners
Scrutineers are officials who observe and verify the counting of votes in an election, ensuring the process is fair and accurate.
In some contexts, particularly in motorsport, scrutineers are technical inspectors who examine vehicles for compliance with regulations: The scrutineers checked each car before the race.
The word is more common in British, Canadian, and Australian English than American.
