If unused, draw a line in ink across the table from lower left to upper right and write unused above the line. When recording, 3 EOs will be involved: one for each Worksheet (from SOR 1 and SOR 2) and another as a reader of the numbers. The agreement of all 3 is required.

Count the envelopes which contain paper ballots. Open the first envelope. Record a Number 1 (#1) on the ballot. Read out the votes cast on that ballot. Each EO for the 2 SORs will record each vote in the correct column for that ballot on Line Number 1. Turn the ballot and envelope over in separate piles on the table. Open the next ballot and 57

58 number it as #2. Repeat the process. Do this until all the votes on the paper ballots have been recorded. If there is a question about the validity of the paper ballot tally, the count can be repeated in the same manner because the number on the ballot will be the same as the line number on the Tally Sheet. Total the rows and columns by Congressional District. The grand total of all the columns should equal the grand total of all the rows. Enter the totals for each candidate on Line D2 of Part D for each Congressional District. If there is an overvote for an office, none of the votes for that one office count; if the other votes for offices are valid, these would count. Only the overvoted office would not count. After you have recorded the votes on the paper ballots, if there are blank lines remaining, draw a large X through these unused lines. PART F EXPLANATION OF DISCREPANCIES Document and describe all irregularities that occur during the voting process on the carbon pack set for Part F of the SOR. You only have to write these comments once. If there are NO discrepancies, write NONE on the carbon set and place whole set in Envelope 2 with the SORs. Please return other unused carbon sets in the Number 8 Envelope. The WHITE sheet is returned to the office in Envelope 8. The PINK sheet is attached to SOR-1. The YELLOW sheet is attached to SOR-2. PART G CERTIFICATION SECTION The Certification is signed by all Officers of Election who worked in the precinct. All Officers MUST SIGN before leaving the polling place. The Chief Officer signs on the first line; the Assistant Chief Officer signs on the second line; and the rest of the EOs sign in the order in which they have been signing the other documents. There is now a box to enter the finish time for the precinct (beneath the signatures). If a Special Assistant assists you in closing, he or she must sign on the specified line. If you have a voting machine that is closed and results are taken off by a Technician before 7:00 pm, there is a box to mark with an X. In the next box down, please mark with an X if the EPBs were closed with a password and the EPB Summary Report is signed and properly attached to the SOR. The large box below the above box is for Electoral Board use-only during Ascertainment. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK!!! 58

86 PROVISIONAL VOTER NOTICE , Code of Virginia The officer of election must give this notice to every voter completing a provisional ballot at the polling place for one of the reasons indicated below. The officer must also check the provisional reason(s) below that correspond to the voter's provisional ballot envelope. Dear Provisional Voter, You voted a provisional ballot today for the reason(s) checked below. The Prince William County Electoral Board will determine which provisional ballots should be counted. The meeting will begin at 12 Noon on Wednesday after the election at 9250 Lee Avenue, Suite 1, Manassas. You have the right to attend the meeting to present any information that might prove you are a qualified registered voter of this precinct; you may bring legal counsel with you. You may also request an extension of the meeting to the next day in order to provide such information. If you have any questions, call the General Registrar's office at or If the Electoral Board cannot determine that you are a qualified registered voter of this precinct, then your ballot will not be counted. After the completion of the vote count, you can find out if your ballot was counted by calling the toll-free number: asking for locality #153. You may also call Name not on pollbook (Reasons #1 and #2 on provisional ballot envelope) Your name did not appear on the list of persons registered to vote in this precinct and the General Registrar either could not determine your qualifications to vote or could not be reached. Since you told the Election Officer that you are qualified and registered to vote in this precinct, you have been given a provisional ballot to vote. To count your ballot, the Electoral Board must determine that you are or should have been registered for this election and are qualified to vote in this precinct. If you applied for registration at a DMV or another government agency, please provide the agency name, location and approximate date to the Officer of Election. If you have a registration receipt from an agency, please provide the information to the Officer while you are at the polls, or call your local General Registrar before the meeting listed above. If it is proven that you attempted to register before the close of books at a DMV office or another National Voter Registration Act designated agency (and only at these offices), the Registrar will use the voter registration application you completed and turned in at the polls today to determine your qualifications to be registered, which may result in your ballot being counted. If your registration was cancelled and you believe this was in error, you may provide information to this effect to the General Registrar before the meeting listed above or attend to present your information. The General Registrar will notify you in writing if you are not properly registered. Voted after normal poll closing (Reason #3) You were required to vote a provisional ballot because you voted after the normal poll closing time due to a court order extending the voting hours established by state law. If the court order has not been overturned when the ballots are ready to be counted, and you are otherwise registered and qualified to vote in this precinct, your ballot will be counted. If another provisional reason also applies to you, please see that reason. Absentee ballot lost or not received (Reason #4) You were required to vote a provisional ballot because our records show that you were issued an absentee ballot but it had not been returned prior to election day, either marked or unmarked. You offered to vote in your regular polling place, indicating that your absentee ballot was unavailable, spoiled or uncountable. If you are otherwise registered and qualified to vote in this precinct, your provisional ballot will be counted after the Electoral Board verifies that your absentee ballot was not received and counted. SAMPLE Shown as having already voted (Reason #5) You are required to vote a provisional ballot because the pollbook shows you have already cast a ballot. If elections officials are able to determine that you did not actually cast a ballot, or that there is an error within their records, your ballot will be counted.

116 If paper ballot supplies are running low, the Chief Officer should request additional ballots from the Electoral Board, follow procedures for use of the Authorization to Reproduce Ballots form, and proceed if so authorized. If supplies of provisional ballot envelopes are running low, the envelope can be reproduced by copying an unused front and back of the envelope onto a single sheet of paper (it does not have to be green paper) and wrapping the completed "envelope" around the voter's completed ballot. Secure the ballot within the "envelope" by whatever means is available, being careful not to damage the ballot, and leaving the completed information on the "envelope" visible. 20.

Note: The ID requirements applicable to other voters apply to this voter, including the HAVA ID requirement if voter record is marked " H " or " H A " and a federal office is on the ballot. (See Problems #1 and 2.) Note: Any voter marked with an " F on the pollbook may vote a ballot for federal offices only. See Problem # (C). Follow normal procedures under Problems #1-19 to look up voter on pollbook, request ID and determine voter qualifications, except (as for other provisional voters):, On EPB check in voters as "provisional" and add comment on voter record (for example, "after hours"). Record each voter's information on Precinct Provisional Ballots Log, circling reason #3 and any other reason that applies to that specific voter. Keep these Log sheets separate from those used during normal polling hours. With the first "after hours" voter, begin a new Log sheet, numbering from "Page 1" and checking the "after hours" box at the top of each such Log page. Follow basic procedures under Problem # 12a for issuing a Provisional ballot, except: Check Box #3 on the back of the green envelope as the reason the voter is voting a provisional ballot. (Other reasons may also apply.) Give the voter the Provisional Voter Notice (HAVA-5 form), checking reason #3 and any other appropriate reasons. Do not offer this provisional voter a new voter registration form unless needed for another reason (moved, changed name, etc.). After the polls close, all provisional ballots with Box #3 checked on the envelope must be separated from other provisional ballots and placed in Envelope #1B. Include all ballots with Box #3 checked, even if more than one reason is checked, and all "after hours" Log pages.

Campaigners (Campaign Workers and Candidates) 1 II. Party and Candidate Authorized Representatives on Election Day (General Information and Requirements) 2 III. Authorized Representatives Before Polls Open 3 IV. Authorized Representatives While Polls Are Open 3 V. Authorized Representatives at Close of Polls 5 VI. Reporting Alleged Election Day Problems 6 VII. What Happens After Election Day 6 Appendix Guidelines for Campaigners and Authorized Reps. (Summary Page) 9 I. CAMPAIGNERS (CAMPAIGN WORKERS AND CANDIDATES) 1. Campaigners must remain at least 40 feet away from any entrance to the building in which the polling place is located. This 40-foot "campaign-free" zone is referred to as the "Prohibited Area." Restrictions which apply to the Prohibited Area also apply to the polling place itself. If the electoral board allows campaigning within the building containing the polling place, all such activities must take place at least 40 feet from any entrance to the room where voting activities are being conducted. Code of Virginia, & There is no limit to the number of campaigners allowed outside of the Prohibited Area Campaigners cannot hinder or delay a person from entering or leaving a polling place Loudspeakers cannot be used within 300 feet of any polling place Campaign materials, including sample ballots, may be distributed on Election Day on the property on which a polling place is located and outside of the Prohibited Area (E), Only the electoral board may approve exceptions in the limited circumstances described in (E). 6. Campaign signs/posters may not be posted inside the Prohibited Area or polling place. Whether signs/posters can be posted outside of the Prohibited Area may be subject to the management policies of the property, or local ordinance. (For example, a private organization may be willing to have its building serve as a polling place, but does not allow placement of sign posts in its lawn.) REV 9/2013 Dos and Don'ts for Campaigners and Authorized Representatives 139

140 7. Sample Ballots: a. On sample ballots, any official authority statement of a local electoral board or the State Board of Elections must be deleted, and replaced with the publishing candidate's or group's authority statement (or "disclaimer") b. For federal offices, the disclaimer required by federal law must be used. For all other offices, the required identification on campaign material is specified in the Code of Virginia. For details, see the State Board of Elections website or call SBE. c. Samples of any ballot (or part of a ballot) cannot be printed on any shade of white or yellow paper and must contain the words SAMPLE BALLOT in type no smaller than twenty-four point d. The voter is allowed to carry sample ballots and campaign material into the polling place but must not display them to other voters , No officer of election shall sign or otherwise mark any paper, form, or item, other than one furnished by the State Board, his electoral board, or general registrar, at his polling place during the hours that the polls are open II. PARTY AND CANDIDATE AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES ON ELECTION DAY (General Information and Requirements) 1. In a primary election, each primary candidate on the ballot in that election is entitled to representation, as discussed below, before, during and after the election. In a general election or special election each political party with one or more nominees on the ballot in that election is entitled to representation (even if the nominees are running for local offices for which party names are not listed on the ballot). a In a general election or special election each independent candidate on the ballot in that election is entitled to representation. Write-in candidates are not entitled to representatives at any time, but they or their supporters may be able to witness the counting of votes in the precinct after the polls close (as chosen "bystanders"). See section V below and The chairman of the political party or the independent/primary candidate entitled to representatives, as appropriate, must provide a notice of authorization. The notice should be done by one of the following methods: a. Provide, at least 5 days prior to the election, a list of authorized representatives for each precinct to the local electoral board; or b. Provide a list of the authorized representatives for the precinct to the chief officer of election at the polling place; or a The political organizations which currently meet the definition of a "political party" under Virginia state law ( ) -- and therefore entitled to party representation inside the polls during elections in which they have a nominee on the ballot -- are the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. Other groups may qualify to put their names on the ballot beside names of their candidates, but are not entitled to representatives. REV 9/2013 Dos and Don'ts for Campaigners and Authorized Representatives 140

141 c. Provide each authorized representative with a letter (or copy) signed by the party chairman or the independent/primary candidate. The representative must give this letter (or copy) to the chief officer of election at the polling place. III. AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES BEFORE POLLS OPEN ( ) 1. Before opening the polls, each officer shall examine the equipment and see that no vote has been cast and that the counters register zero. The officers shall conduct their examination in the presence of the party and candidate representatives (if present) See for additional procedures before the polls open. 2. Number of Authorized Representatives Permitted in Polling Place Before Polls Open a. General and Special Elections i. One authorized representative of each political party with a nominee on the ballot in that election ii. One authorized representative of each independent candidate on the ballot in that election b. Primary Elections i. One authorized representative of each primary candidate on the ballot in that election 3. Representative must be a qualified Virginia voter. An officer of election has the discretion to verify an authorized representative s registration status and identity by asking the representative to provide an acceptable form of ID. 4. Representative must have a written statement (or copy) signed by the party chairman or the independent candidate he represents. This statement (or copy) should be presented to the chief officer of election if not presented previously (see section II above). The written statement is not required if the candidate or party chairman is serving as the representative. IV. AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES WHILE POLLS ARE OPEN ( ) 1. The primary concept with regard to authorized representatives is that they cannot "otherwise impede the orderly conduct of the election." The officers of election have the authority to remove any person interfering with the voting process, and have broad discretion to manage affairs within the polling place , Quantity and Qualifications for Authorized Representatives: a. The officers of election, at their discretion, may allow a maximum of three authorized representatives from each political party with a nominee on the ballot in that election and three from each independent or primary candidate on the ballot in that election when the pollbook has less than three divisions/stations. b. When the pollbook is divided (or there are multiple electronic pollbook stations), one representative from each party and one from each independent/primary candidate must be allowed for each pollbook division/station. c. A representative must be a qualified Virginia voter. REV 9/2013 Dos and Don'ts for Campaigners and Authorized Representatives 141

142 d. The representative cannot be the candidate. b 3. Representatives may stay all day or they may come and go in shifts as determined by the party or independent/primary candidate. 4. The representative cannot sit at the registration table with the officers of election. The representative must be allowed to be close enough to the voter check-in table to hear and see what is occurring; however, not close enough to the officer to disrupt his or her duties including those of processing voters. The representative has a right to immediately appeal to the local electoral board if he is unable to observe the process. Subject to the restrictions below on the secret ballot and the officer of election s right to ensure the orderly conduct of the election, the representative cannot be directed to only stand in one specific area. However, if the placement of a representative may hinder or delay a voter, the officer of election may inform the authorized representative not to remain in that area. 5. All voters should check in at the check -in table with the pollbooks allowing the authorized representatives to see and hear the process. The separate table or privacy booth that voters are directed to for the purpose of completing and voting the provisional voting materials is not a check-in table and the privacy of the voting process should be respected by officers of election and authorized representatives. 6. It is unlawful for any authorized representative to be in a position to see the marked ballot of any other voter. 7. The representative cannot in any way hinder or delay a voter or officer of election. 8. The representative cannot insult or abuse an officer of election nor conduct him/herself in a noisy or riotous manner. 9.

In the event of relocation, our office will dispatch Rovers and/or staff with extra supplies to assist you. The media will also be alerted to redirect the voters. 158

159 EMERGENCY SITUATIONS REQUIRING SHELTER-IN-PLACE Hurricane Tornado Chemical Spill Attack Be prepared - read and familiarize your workers with these procedures Shelter-in-place is a protective action to shield people from a hazardous outdoor situation or external threat such as a weather event, traffic accident involving a hazardous chemical or a sniper situation. This is intended as a short term measure to protect workers and voters until the hazard has passed. Locate a safe interior room (no windows) or basement inside your building. (Check in advance with the school officials, facility administrator or Emergency Sheet) Review the route to the shelter with officers, pages and poll watchers keeping in mind, that there may be little or no lighting if the power is out. Review the instructions below with all election officers. 1. Only if time permits.. EMERGENCY SHELTER-IN-PLACE PLAN - Turn off the machines by turning the power knob to off. Do not close the polls! No votes will be lost. - Fold top down and place cover on machine. Place them in the cages. - Place card activator, activator cards, pollbooks, paper ballots, ballot box, SOR s return envelopes and other forms in the cage. - Chief Officer locks the cage with key and keeps the key. 2.

Remain in the shelter until the emergency has passed. Remember.. Remain calm, and follow the directions of public safety officials If you cannot leave the building and voters cannot enter the building after a reasonable period of time, the Electoral Board may choose to reestablish your polling place at alternate locations using Rovers with spare machines and supplies that have been reserved for emergencies. The police will direct voters to the new location and the Electoral Board will contact the radio and TV stations to alert voters of the polling place change. After the emergency has passed and the polls have closed, the Electoral Board will work with you to reconcile and combine the votes from the two locations. Be prepared Good things to take to a shelter if you have them: flashlight, cellular phone, transistor radio, bottled water, canned fruit drinks and snack foods. 159

160 Emergency Procedures The best laid plans can often change upon a moment s notice. Emergencies happen and localities need to be prepared to handle them. This checklist can be used in the preparation for and in the event of emergencies. The outcome of an emergency is often decided before it ever happens: it is determined during the preparation and training before Election Day. The best plans are of no use if they are not properly communicated to the people who need them the most. Therefore, ensure that everyone working in the polling place is aware of these procedures. Safety Assessment for the Polling Place As part of the normal preparation before Election Day, the Chief should conduct a safety assessment for the polling place. This assessment should include: Locate fire extinguishers/fire alarms and inform all election officials of their location. Identify emergency escape routes/exits. Identify a predetermined assembly point to be used in the case of evacuation at least 300 feet away from the building and outside of parking areas, if possible. Familiarize all officials with the Incident Report Form. Identify potential hazard areas (icy steps/sidewalks, slick/wet floors) and notify custodial or management staff of the polling place to correct the hazards, if possible. Identify dialing procedures for contacting (Determine whether an outside line requires dialing additional digits such as 9 resulting in ). Check emergency supplies: flashlight, list of important phone numbers, a copy of locality s emergency plan Make sure that the polling place has access to a phone in case of an emergency. Emergency Evacuations Get as accurate a headcount as possible Alert all present individuals of the emergency circumstances as calmly as Appropriate and remind them of the predetermined assembly area Voting machine officer take quick note of the Public Counter number on the machine(s). Designated officer should notify the office of the general registrar/electoral board ASAP. Chief officer should insure that all election officials and evacuated voters are accounted for. Chief officer should designate an officer to list the names of those who checked in before the evacuation, but were unable to vote. Officers should advise voters they may do one of the following: Wait until the building can be re-entered. Vote on a paper ballot, marksense ballot or battery operated voting equipment, if officers have the materials to allow them to do so. Follow the procedures for use of emergency paper ballots if the equipment is not available or cannot be used. ( ) 160

161 If time permits, polling place officials should try to take with them the following: Ballot container Precinct Pollbook(s) Public Counter number recorded from each machine Unused ballots Paper Ballots Paper Pens Necessary forms and materials to allow voting to continue, such as Affirmation of Identity and Affirmation of Eligibility, and any precinct lookup devices/lists Voting equipment (if feasible) Personal belongings Any voter who chooses to leave because of the emergency and later returns must be allowed to go to the head of any line of persons waiting to vote. Officers should make a list for this purpose. However, a voter who has already been marked on the Pollbook as present to vote and then leaves may not return and vote later. At no time may the line of those who have checked in and not yet voted extend beyond of the observation of the officers. ( (B).) The law also says that the line may not extend outside the building or polling place ( (B)), but public safety must take priority in an emergency. So, one officer should stay with the evacuated voters who have been checked in but not yet voted, and voting should recommence (either inside the polling place or at the alternate location) as soon as it is possible and safe. Attempt to resume the election at the predetermined assembly point if circumstances permit. The electoral board may opt to move polling to another location if there will be a prolonged or permanent evacuation. Should this happen, an election official must leave directions to the new location posted on the doors (post on both regular and handicapped accessible entryways) and the time you vacated this polling place. Fire If the fire is very small and contained, attempt to extinguish with a fire extinguisher. Call If the fire cannot be extinguished, evacuate all voters and Election Officials using the predetermined emergency routes to the predetermined assembly point. If evacuation is necessary, follow the above procedures. Bomb Threat If the threat is imminent, evacuate all voters and Election Officials from the polling place using the predetermined emergency procedures on page 1-2. Call and report everything exactly as the caller reported it to you. Notify the general registrar s office as soon as possible after calling The person having received the threat call should document the conversation on paper while it is fresh in their mind. 161

162 If a bomb threat is phoned into a polling place, get as much information from the caller as possible. If possible, have another person listen to the conversation. Do not be afraid to ask questions. A list of suggested questions is contained in Exhibit B. Power Outage Contact the registrar/electoral board office. The staff will attempt to get power restored or auxiliary power provided or supply additional paper ballots if they will be needed. If possible, contact the custodial or management staff of the polling place. Most equipment should remain operational because of battery backup. Attempt to find an alternate source of light until power is restored Meanwhile, use the flashlight, if provided with the election supplies If it is feasible, the polling location may temporarily be moved to another area of the building where natural light is available or car headlight beams can be directed into the area If necessary, continue voting using paper ballots: Be sure to accurately reflect these voters as paper ballot voters in the Pollbook. Call the registrar s office to request additional paper ballots if necessary. If it appears that they will not arrive before the existing supply has been depleted, procedures for making additional emergency paper ballots are provided in the If power cannot be restored: The electoral board may opt to move polling to another location. An election official must leave directions to the new location posted on the doors (post on both regular and handicapped accessible entryways) and the time you vacated this polling place. If the power goes out during the ascertainment of the results, the officers of election may not move the voting materials to an alternate location without representatives of both political parties present with the materials at all times. Inclement or Precarious Weather Conditions The staff of the electoral board and registrar should monitor reports of extreme weather conditions prior to elections. In the case that extreme weather is predicted before the election: Arrangements must be made with the managers of the facilities where polling places are located and will be notified that they must have the facility open for polling, delivery, and pick-up of the voting equipment. The voting machine technicians should deliver the equipment to the polling locations ahead of schedule In the event that a report of dangerous conditions is received from a creditable source (School Superintendent, Sheriff s Office, fire and emergency management officials) or an emergency weather channel while the election is being held, follow the appropriate plans: In the event of an earthquake, evacuate the building as described on pages 1-2 and assemble at the predetermined evacuation assembly point if possible. 162

163 In the event of a tornado, calmly assemble voters and election officials in an internal space away from windows, preferably in an enclosed hallway. In the event of icy/snowy/treacherous walkways, assign an election official or an election page to keep entrances and exits free of ice and snow, as well as, posting multiple signs boldly indicating caution areas (wet floors, icy walkways, etc.). Keep the registrar apprised of present and changing conditions, as well as the steps taken to improve those conditions. Illness, Injury, or Death Have an election official call emergency service at Make sure that the election official identifies himself, gives the full address of the polling place and the name of the building, and is prepared to provide directions to the polling place and the information about the extent of the person's injury. Do not touch the person or offer to treat or provide medications (either over the counter or otherwise) to the individual. Complete an Incident Report Form. An Election Official may tell the person that an Incident Report is being filed with the electoral board. Do not make any statement admitting guilt or wrongdoing, or instruct the individual on the proper course of treatment (this includes assisting the individual in getting medical care by means other than by calling 9-1-1). In the event of a serious illness, injury, or death, call the registrar/electoral board office after completing the call to Inability to Enter the Polling Location: In the case of high water before the polls open, first notify the registrar, who will in turn contact the local electoral board. The electoral board must follow the guidelines established in the Election Emergency Procedures. After the alternate plans have been finalized, the electoral board and chief election official will notify election officials. In the case of high water after the polls open, first inform the registrar, follow evacuation procedures, and then follow the aforementioned high water plans. In the case of locked doors, if the chief election official will not have the key for the polls, he should ensure, prior to Election Day, that he has phone numbers for contacting a facility custodian or the management staff. If the chief election official cannot make contact with one of the aforementioned individuals, he should contact the registrar and begin following the guidelines set forth for an alternate polling location in the Election Emergency Plans. Section of the Code of Virginia states that polls MUST be open and allowing voters to place their vote at 6:00 a.m. Emergencies Involving Election Officials: If the chief election official does not arrive with the supplies, any election official present should notify the registrar by 5:15 a.m. The office staff will attempt to reach the chief at his home. If the chief cannot immediately get to the polls with the supplies and books, the electoral board will deliver supplies, ballots, and a machine key immediately to the polling place. Until the books (which are in the custody of the chief) arrive, the registrar s office must be called to verify that each voter is 163

164 qualified. (If no phone service, follow the challenged voter procedures using a paper ballot and the affirmation of eligibility form.) Record each voter s name and Pollbook count (PBC) number on a note pad until the books arrive. Once you have the books, record the voters and PBC numbers in the appropriate sections. If a voter must leave before you receive ballots, take his/her name and phone number. If the voter returns later in the day, place him/her at the front of the line, if one exists. If the chief election official is ill or has a family emergency before the election, the assistant chief or the official who will now serve as chief will be notified to pick up the supplies and ballots, and serve in absence of the chief. If the supplies are destroyed, immediately call the registrar so that new supplies may be furnished. The supplies and ballots are not to be left overnight in an automobile. The chief should ensure the supplies, equipment, and ballots are safely secured both at home and at the polling location when they go to check their equipment. If the supplies are destroyed before distribution to the chiefs, the registrar s staff will then replace supplies. In the event that the precinct is short of election officials, the shortage must be reported as the chief or assistant chief becomes aware. The registrar s office will attempt to replace the official. The other election officials must proceed in opening the polls. However, provides that, If an officer of election is absent or unable to serve and the polls have been open for one hour, the remaining officers of election shall appoint a substitute officer of election for the precinct. The substitute officer shall possess the same qualifications and, after taking the requisite oath, have the same powers as officers appointed by an electoral board. Technical Difficulties on Election Day: In the event that voting equipment malfunctions or is damaged, immediately report to the voting machine technicians or the registrar/electoral board s office. Follow procedures in the Code under Inoperative Equipment. ( ) If using optical scan ballots, voting will continue normally except for the tabulating. ( ) Any voted ballots that must be placed in the emergency ballot container will remain in that container until the polls close and then the ballots will be fed through the counter. If the officials neglect to run the ballots in the emergency ballot container before running the tapes, the technicians and an electoral board member must be summoned to the precinct and observe while all the ballots are run through the counter again before the results can be reported. The ballots may have to be read or hand counted if the locality does not have the equipment. If using DREs, and other equipment is not available or usable, voting should continue using paper ballots, and emergency paper ballots if necessary. ( ) In the event that the ballot container is damaged or missing, immediately report this to the registrar. The technician will be sent to repair or replace the container. If the emergency ballot slot cannot be used, the voters must place their ballots in the black supply container, or other container that is sealed and has a slot on top. The ballots must remain in that container until the polls close and then the ballots must be fed through the tabulator. 164

165 In the event that the precinct phone is not working, report the problem to the custodial or the management staff. Another phone may be obtained to report the nonfunctional phone or down service to the registrar. If needed, a cellular phone may be provided until phone service is restored. In the event that the registrar s phones are not working, cellular phones may be used until service is restored. All precincts must be notified of the new temporary number at which the registrar s staff may be reached. In the event of power failure at the registrar s Office, the registrar shall determine if the staff will be relocated. All election officials must be notified of the new location and contact information. Unruly Behavior at the Polling Location: Although it is not unusual for a parent or guardian to bring one or more children into the polling place, this should only be allowed as long as it is not a disruption to other voters. Section of the Code of Virginia states, A voter may be accompanied into the voting booth by his child age fifteen or younger. Additionally, if the child feeds the ballot into the tabulator or otherwise casts the ballot and the voter has not completed the ballot, a new ballot will not be provided. If a ballot is damaged, the voter may void it and a new ballot is issued. However, children should not be allowed to mark or play with a ballot. In the event of a poll watcher or voter disrupting the polls or person(s) campaigning within the prohibited area, first have two election officials ask them to leave. However, if the person persists, call Be sure to identify yourself as the chief election officer or an election official. Complete an Incident Report. Section of the Code of Virginia authorizes officers of election to appoint in writing one or more persons, who will have all the powers of a law enforcement officer in the polling place and within the prohibited area. This action should be taken as the last resort for the protection of election officials and the public. If someone is known to have a weapon, and is not a sworn law enforcement official displaying their badge, or a person displaying a valid Virginia concealed weapons permit, have more than one election official approach the individual together and simply ask him to leave the weapon outside. If the person does not immediately comply, have an election official call and report the incident. All unsafe or threatening behavior should be reported to Unsafe behavior may include the following: Display of multiple or unusual weapons Display of a weapon in a position in which it could be used. Shoving, pushing, unnecessary physical contact, abusive language or gestures. Statements that contain violent descriptions. Do not get personally involved if you believe that an assault is occurring. Instead, call and complete the Incident Report. 165

166 If A Court Orders Polling Hours Extended In any situation where the officers of election are notified that the polling hours have been extended by court order, any person who offers to vote after the normal closing time of 7 p.m. must vote a provisional ballot. ( (C).) If news of the extended hours did not come from the general registrar or electoral board or via delivery of an official copy of the order from the court, the chief or assistant chief officer should immediately attempt to verify the extension with the registrar or electoral board. If a copy of the order is delivered to the polling place, the chief or assistant chief should immediately inform the general registrar or electoral board of its receipt and contents. Estimate the number of extra paper ballots and provisional ballot envelopes that will be needed during the extended polling hours (all voters during that time must vote provisional ballots), and ask the general registrar or electoral board to have them delivered to the polling place. If there is not enough time to have them delivered, proceed with the stock on hand and use the procedures for emergency paper ballots under SBE 642 Procedure for Use of Authorization to Reproduce Ballots. If additional provisional ballot envelopes are needed, an officer may photocopy both sides of a blank provisional ballot envelope to be attached to a plain envelope or securely wrapped and sealed around the outside of the folded paper ballot (with the information normally on the envelope visible, but the ballot kept private) if no plain envelopes are available. (Do not staple through any ballot.) All qualified voters who are in line when polls would normally close must vote in the usual manner. Any voter entering the line after the normal closing time, but before the extended closing time, must vote by provisional ballot. Keep a separate running count of the number of provisional ballots issued after the normal poll closing time. What one judge orders, a higher court may overturn, so the ballots and counts must be kept completely separate. These voters may also be voting a provisional ballot for any of the usual reasons and all applicable reasons should be marked. These voters will not be marked with a Pollbook count number to indicate that they have voted but will be listed in the same manner as other provisional voters. These ballots will be counted and added to the results by the electoral board; they are not counted at the polls by the officers. After all voters in line by the extended poll closing time have voted, proceed to close the polls and report the results normally. If extra lines or comments must be added to the Statement of Results to separately account for the ballots cast after the normal poll closing time, do so before the Statement is signed and the materials are sealed. 166

167 MONTHLY SAFETY BRIEF OCTOBER 2012 Do you know the safest response to an earthquake? In most situations, you will reduce your chance of injury from falling objects (and even building collapse) if you immediately: Immediately DROP to the ground where you are before the earthquake drops you! Shaking may be so violent that you cannot run or crawl. Do NOT go outside! Most injuries occur when people attempt to move to a different location inside the building or try to leave. Avoid doorways. Doorways are no stronger than any other part of the structure. Take COVER by getting under a sturdy desk or table. If you are not near a desk or table, drop to the floor against an interior wall and protect your head and neck with your arms. Avoid exterior walls, windows, hanging objects, tall furniture, and cabinets with heavy objects or glass. You are much more likely to be injured by falling or flying objects than to die in a collapsed building. The floor or the ground could jerk strongly sideways or out from under you; HOLD ON to something sturdy and stay where you are until the shaking stops. When the shaking stops, move carefully. Don t run. Expect strong aftershocks more quakes may follow. When safe to do so, check for injuries and building damage. Learn more about how to protect yourself in the event of an earthquake: Test your earthquake knowledge play Beat the Quake at: 167
