Registration Table Flowchart

If the voter is an "Incoming Precinct Transfer with an ATV", send them to the Help Table with the ATV.

For ALL OTHER VOTERS, do the following three steps in order.

STEP 1:  Find the voter's label.   Confirm it with the voter.   Put it on an ATV.

 >  Ask the voter for their NAME -- start the label search.   Problems? See name Hints

 >  Ask the voter for their ADDRESS -- finish the label search.   Problems? See address Hints

 >  Ask the voter for their PARTY AFFILIATION  (Primary elections only) Problems? See party Hints

  • Read aloud this data FROM the found label. Have the voter confirm this is THEIR label.
  • If the voter's label is found, attach it to an ATV, but NOT BEFORE getting the voter confirmation.
  • If the voter is Unaffiliated,
    (Do this only for primary elections)
    • Ask the voter for their party choice for this election.
    • Repeat the choice aloud to the voter.
    • Cross out any extraneous ballot styles on the ATV.

EXCEPTIONS

If voter's label is not found:  Send the voter to the Help Table with no ATV.
("Voter's label not found" is the only reason to send the voter to the Help Table in this Step.)

If wrong name, wrong address, or wrong party are on the label: Mark the appropriate Section A boxes:
[ Name on label is wrong ][ Address on label is wrong ][ Party dispute ].  Go to Step 2.
(Note that "Party dispute"/"wrong party" are only for primary elections.)

If  A, TIDV, P, or F on the label:  Ignore  for now (will be handled in Step 3). Now go to Step 2.

STEP 2:  Ask the voter for a photo ID.   Verify it.

 ?  Is this a valid type of photo ID?  Problems? See ID Hints

 ?  Is the ID "unexpired"? See the Photo ID Quick Guide for photo ID details.

 ?  Does the voter "resemble" the photo on the ID?

 ?  Is the name on the ID "equivalent to" the name on the label?

  • Ignore any address on the ID.  An address there does not have to match the address on the label.

EXCEPTIONS

If Photo ID check fails:  Mark both the [ No ID ] and [ Photo ID ] Section A boxes.  The voter must not sign the ATV.  You must not initial it.  Send the voter to the Help Table with the ATV.

STEP 3:  Finish processing the labeled ATV.  First handle any exceptions.

EXCEPTIONS

 If F is on the label:  Ask the voter to optionally fill out a Election Day Unvalidated DL/SSN Form.
   Give the form to the Chief Judge to be put in the Blue Reconciliation Bag.


If any other exceptions are on the ATV:  (See the List of Possible Remaining Exceptions on the right.)
Go to Start Processing Exceptions -- HAVA ID FirstReturn here if directed to do so.

  • Give the ATV to the voter and ask the voter to
    • Verify the label information.
    • Read the items below the "I certify that" line.
    • Sign by the big X if all is correct.
  • You then initial the ATV in the Official's Initials box.
  • Send the voter to the Ballot Table with the ATV.

List of Possible Remaining Exceptions

Start Processing Exceptions -- HAVA ID First

ID really means HAVA ID.  Do the rest of this block only if ID is on the label. Otherwise go to the "Finish Handling Exceptions" block.

Finish Handling Exceptions
