(Provisional voters must go to the yellow Provisional Voting booth because they are NOT allowed to put their ballot in the tabulator. Handling of ballots- Voter privacy is at utmost importance! You should NEVER handle or insert a voter s ballot unless they request assistance. You may indicate to the voter that you must check for the initials at the top of the ballot before they place it in, but you must NEVER grab a ballot from the voter. Tabulating Ballot After completing their ballot, the voter must take their ballot to the tabulating machine and slide it in. Whoever is at the tabulator station should make sure that the machine does not beep with prompts before the voter leaves. Affidavits- There are several different scenarios to which an affidavit should be used. Your binder has them laid out for you along with a ballot entitlement sheet. It is so important to read that sheet and follow instructions on the affidavits. They will tell you 7

8 exactly what to do for different scenarios. The affidavits you will have in your binder are: Affidavit of voter Address correction for fail-safe voter. Supporting Affidavit Affidavit of Assisted Voter Challenged Voters- A voter may be challenged on their qualifications to vote by an Election Judge, a Pollwatcher, or any legal voter from the same polling place. Some reasons to challenge a voter may be: 1. No record that the person is registered 2. Person does not appear to be the same voter that is registered 3. The person is believed to have moved 4. The voter shows up as Already Voted. 5. The voter may have had a name change. Ruling of a Challenge- The majority of the judges only determine whether to sustain or overrule a challenge. If a residency is being challenged, judges should request verification of the voter s current address. Provisional Voting- If a voter is not in your poll books and does not want to go to the County Clerk s Office to update their registration and vote, they may cast a provisional ballot. Further information and instructions are found in your precinct binder. It is important to fill out every section, front and back, of the provisional envelope to ensure the vote will be judged fairly after the election. If you fail to fill out a section or sign the envelope, the vote will automatically be void. Write- In Votes- It is your responsibility to make sure that ALL write-in votes are accounted for and documented in your binder. The only eligible write-in candidates will be provided to you in your precinct binder. To vote for a write-in candidate, a voter must fill in the circle next to Write in on their ballot and write the name of the candidate on the line following. After the polls close, at least one judge from each party will sort all ballots by precinct and pull all of those with write-in votes. It is your job to determine which votes are legitimate and which will not be counted. Write-in votes will be counted if: o Bubble to left is filled in o Name is written on line o Name written is an actual write in candidate(must be on list provided in binder) o If name is misspelled, you must make an executive decision on if you are able to tell what the voter wanted. For example: The write-in Candidate is James Smith. The voter wrote Jim Smith. This should 8

9 be COUNTED. If the candidates name is Christina Smith and the voter writes Kristina Smith. This should be COUNTED. You must document the write-in votes on your write-in tally sheet provided in every precinct binder. Spoiled Ballots- A ballot can be spoiled for the following reasons: A voter made a mistake and needs a new ballot A voter was given the wrong ballot style and needs a correct ballot. When a voter spoils a ballot, the following steps should be taken. Have the voter write SPOILED across their ballot. Have the voter fold the ballot as such to fit inside of the spoiled ballot envelope provided in every precinct binder. Place the folded ballot inside of the envelope and fill out the information on the outside of the envelope accordingly. The envelope must be signed by the judge of that precinct. At the end of the night, the envelope can be kept in the binder, or placed in the supplies bag with the other supplies. Voters who require aid- Sometimes you will have a voter who needs assistance for a variety of reasons. ANY voter can request assistance. Your first step would be to offer to them the use of the AutoMark machine. If they would rather have someone assist them, the following steps should be taken. Check in the voter as you would any other voter in your poll book. Pull out the affidavit called Assisted Voter Affidavit. The voter and whomever is assisting the voter (can be someone accompanying them or an election judge) must fill out and sign the affidavit. The completed affidavit should be placed in the Completed Affidavits folder in the precinct binder. The person assisting the voter may read the ballot and/or mark the ballot for them, but must ONLY mark the candidates of the voter s choice. Filling out forms throughout day- There are several forms that must be signed by election judges before you leave for the night. They are as followed The zero and results tapes from the tabulator The provisional ballot envelope Expense Bill (Failure to sign this will result in not being paid) Ballot Box Integrity Affidavit Memory Card Affidavit Oath or Affirmation of Election Judges Official Ballot Record Pollwatcher Register 9
