Really, for public votes, just about anyone could reasonably request the information necessary to do an audit if they thought it was that important -- it's only for DPL votes that there's any point keeping any of the information secret. I guess the decryption key for encrypted ballots would be of some issue, but that's about it. I think we've only had one audit, which was of a DPL election. That was done at the request of one of the candidates, via the DPL who won the election; see [0], [1].
