Packing Up after the Election

After poll closing and the last voter has left the enclosure, we divide into two teams to pack up -- the three Judges in one team and all the Assistants in the other.  The following charts describe the collection and placement of packing-up items.

Note the dotted lines on the first two pages. These lines separate the tasks between the two teams.

• ◯ The Judges Team handles the items above the dotted lines -- the check circle ◯ items.
• ☐ The Assistants Team handles the items below the dotted lines -- the check box ☐ items.
• ☐ The Assistants Team also handles the check box items on the third page.

To help distribute work among the Assistants, some additional formatting is done on the Jeff's Table page.  Below the dotted line the items are grouped into three numbered blocks with each block listing related items.  Also, in the table in block 2, different formats are used for outside vs inside signs.

After all the collecting has been done, some items below the dotted line on the WCBOE Table page will be merged with items above that line to assemble what will be returned to the WCBOE dropoff site.

To begin, set up two tables:

•  Tabulator
•  Chief Judge Supply Bag (some items in this bag are collected in the section below the dotted line)
  •  Gold Envelope
  •  Chief Judge Binder (the binder contains signed Quick Guides, collected below, as well as the Chief Judge Badge)
  •  "Chief Judge Pocket Guide" (this goes into the Chief Judge Supply Bag as the LAST car-loading step)
  •  Red, white, and blue bags (the red and white bags were collected below, as well as some blue bag contents)
  •  Mobile phone and charger (the bag containing the phone and charger was collected below)
•  Boxes of voted ballots   (boxes sealed at poll closing plus gray bin's sealed boxes, collected below)

•  Boxes of voted ballots from gray bin (these sealed boxes, if present, will eventually go with the above voted ballots boxes
•  Red, white, and spoiled bags (these bags will eventually go in the Chief Judge Supply Bag; see above)
•  Mobile phone and charger (this bag will eventually go in the Chief Judge Supply Bag; see above)
•  Boxes of unvoted ballots (Chief Judge and Judges will eventually seal these boxes with signed labels)
•  Boxes of pollbooks (RT Officials have sealed all filled boxes with blue tape and have folded up any empty box)
•  Boxes of unused ATVs (RT Officials have sealed all filled boxes with blue tape and have discarded any empty boxes)
•  Laptop bag(s) (each bag contains a laptop and all the parts originally in the bag)
•  Eight orange traffic cones (the cones have been folded and put in their two boxes)

(For outside signs, see diagrams parking lot signs retrieval and curbside/accessible parking.)

Signs Put at Jeff's Table    (just a rearrangement of the sign data from the previous page)

• ++  signs:  Leave all the signs attached to the light-weight A-frames.
  • One A-frame with a "... Go AROUND the LOOP" sign and a black-on-yellow arrow on back
  • One A-frame with a metal ("No Left Turn") sign and a "CURBSIDE VOTING" + red arrow combo sign
• ## signs:  Leave the H-frames inserted in the signs. Use blue tape to bundle the framed signs into two packs.
  • Two H-frame "EXIT" signs (by parking lot entrance/exit and at middle lane's exit)
  • Five H-frame "CURBSIDE VOTING" signs (beside lower lanes and at middle lane's exit)
• $$ signs:  Leave the two H-frames inserted. The clips and wires must remain attached to the frameless sign.
  • Two H-frame "ALTERNATE PARKING LOT" signs (by the entrances to the two gravel parking lots)
  • One frameless vinyl "VOTER PARKING HERE" sign (hung from the SCES cones/pole barrier)
• My color-printed signs:  Put these in the "Jeff's Signs" box at Jeff's Table. The file jackets used on the sign stands will also be collected in the "Jeff's Signs" box.

All Other Signs and Some Non-sign Items

• WCBOE vinyl signs I planted at or near the bottom of the school's driveway should be left in place. I planted those Monday morning and will get them Wednesday morning. Don't collect them.
• All the other WCBOE parking lot signs should be cleaned and packed for the WCBOE movers to deliver.
  The following items go either in the gray bin or elsewhere in the WCBOE move area (see below).
  •   Heavy-weight metal A-frame signs [put by the wall]
  •   Quick Stix signs with rods snapped back into frames [put in gray bin, vinyl signs in All Officials Kit bag]
  •   Two "NO CAMPAIGNING ZONE" signs and four weights [put in gray bin]
  •   Curbside stand disassembled in its blue cloth bag [put in gray bin]
  •   Curbside doorbell button and receiver in their box [put in gray bin in Voter Assistance Kit bag]
  •   Powerstrip and any extension cords  (not Jeff's 8-ft cord) [put in gray bin]
• WCBOE yellow paper signs should be discarded. Be careful not to discard my color-printed signs.
• Abandoned campaign signs should be collected and put by the Media Center door. The campaigners can later retrieve them if they want them. After 36 hours (about 7:30 Thursday morning), the school can discard them.
