New polling place procedures
With a larger number of voters at all polling places, we know that we have to process voters quickly while ensuring accuracy. Consequently, we have put new polling place procedures into effect that will streamline the process.
Some of these changes include:
- A new ballot packaging & delivery process that simplifies the procedures for poll workers and speeds up the opening of polls on Election Day.

- The use of new street maps at the polling place intended to assist in directing voters to their correct polling place thereby reducing the number of provisional ballots.
|
- A new roster design that simplifies and speeds up the voter check-in process.
|
- Use of specially trained poll workers to assist voters with voting issues away from the roster table so that other voters can be processed in a timely manner.
|
- The use of a newly designed voter index procedures that will speed up the processing of voters as well as assist candidates and campaigns with their get-out-the-vote efforts.
|
- The use of a new ballot box design that helps segment ballot types in order to increase the speed of processing after the close of the polls.
|
- A new field support plan that better assists poll workers when they need assistance from the Elections Office.
|
- New poll closing and ballot delivery procedures designed to speed up the delivery of ballots to the Elections Office.
