Issues that arose involved 40-foot space from polling entrance at which candidate, party or concerned Poll workers can campaign for their candidates or issue. It was determined we will be more precise by using premeasured 40-foot ropes from which sidewalk chalk can be used to note circumference. An unauthorized ballot sample was being distributed. When an EB member became aware of this, she immediately approached the candidate to cease and desist from using them. They immediately complied. The EB sought guidance from the State. Since compliance was immediate no further action was necessary. An Officer of Election (hence forward OE) found post it notes with the name of a candidate written on them attached to doors of bathroom stalls in Ward B, the Public Library s women s bathroom. She immediately removed them and reported this to the Ward B Chief, who in turn informed a member of the EB. All of Chiefs and Assistance Chiefs were pleased with Closing Check list. All had suggestions to make them better. The EB agreed that these suggestions and recommendations will be discussed at the Chief and Assistant Chief training on May All election numbers reported on Election Night were OK as checked.
