A scrutineer is an official whose job is to watch votes being counted and check that the count is fair — that papers are not added, lost, or quietly “found,” and that the numbers match. You meet the word in elections, and sometimes in sport or racing when someone checks that a result or a machine still follows the rules. It sounds formal and a little British; American news often says observer or talks about a canvassing board, though the work is in the same family of ideas. It is not the person running for office, and it is not a random volunteer with a flag outside the school. It is the checker at the count.
