BOE Staff Feedback Is Needed
-
(updated on 5/09/24)
- This proposal fixes some order problems in the current flowchart, as well as pointing
out some key things the current flowchart does not mention.
- The main flow parallels my RT Procedure card, but takes advantage
of the larger page size to provide better grammar, spacing, and details of exception handling.
- The flowchart references "Processing ATVs and Pollbook Labels".
-
(added on 3/25/24)
- This proposal could make it easier to check delivered ballots at Weekend Supply Pickup, particularly
if a precinct has many ballot styles, e.g., in a primary election.
-
- The 2024.v.2 CJPG fixed the main problems. I have documented some remaining editorial things.
-
- Does the BOE Staff see any problems with this proposal to alleviate a pack-up delay problem?
- It's just a list for my personal use. It's not meant to be published for general use.
Allow Judges to sign box labels before poll closing starts.
- Does the BOE Staff see any problems with this proposal to make packing-up go faster?
Stop requiring the return of signed AOQGs and VAQGs.
- I'm still curious about the need for these.
Stop doing a ballot inventory for the Reconciliation Form.
- I really didn't expect a change, but still would like to get an answer.
BOE Staff Provided Feedback
-
- The proposed changes were not made in the 2024.v.2
CJPG.
Can we use this overlap procedure in
March?
- Some 2023 CJQG bugs were noted in the proposal and in the
marked-up 2023 CJPG, but some of the important ones were
not fixed in the 2024 CJPG. I re-documented them for the
future in a 1/14/24 email.
- While packing up for 19-19 in the March election, we will
record key times to provide you some hard data.
- ANSWERED: We can use
this procedure in the 3/5/24 election and will provide
feedback to the BOE Staff. We will also assist in updating
the CJPG for the 11/5/24 election.
(updated on 2/29/24)
-
- Does the BOE Staff have any problems
with our use of this document?
- It definitely should help solve the main RT processing
problem we saw in 2023 -- not repeating name, address,
etc., aloud, which sometimes got overlooked because of the
intermingled photo ID processing.
- ANSWERED: The document
is correct. We can use it for education purposes for the
3/5/24 election, e.g., at Monday Setup, but only the
standard BOE documents must be on the Registration Table on
Election Day. We will also assist in updating the CJPG for
the 11/5/24 election to reflect the [name, address, photo ID] order.

BOE Staff Is Investigating
The "ANSWERED" (on 2/20/24) information shown below will need to be provided in the November BOE documents.
- Orange box handling (important)
- ANSWERED: Fill in the orange box label as "Box 1 of 1".
Do not include this box in the count of the other boxes.
- HAVA ID expiration dates (important)
- ANSWERED: The NCSBE has created a replacement HAVA sheet to address these questions.
- Roll of Tabulator tape (important)
- ANSWERED: The tape roll will be delivered in and should be returned in the CJ Supply bag.
- For a voter with no ATV who requires provisional processing, when should the photo ID check be done?
There is no reminder to do this check on the Provisional Envelope.
(important) (added on 1/13/24)
- ANSWERED: Do the photo ID check mmediately after the voter has filled in the yellow fields.
- Technique to provide a concise summary of currently elected officials
In the future, can a second file be created with most of the AirTable data, but using the old pdf format?
ES&S Limitations and/or NC Certification Requirements Prevent Timely Fixes
- On both the Tabulator and ExpressVote, make the full password be visible for a truly sufficient time.
- Provide signature lines on all the Tabulator tapes.
- Have better Tabulator terms than "paper sheets" and "ExpressVote cards". (added on 1/13/24)
- There should be a way for an HT Official to mark a provisional ballot so the Tabulator will reject it. See the
first (now very old) item under "Hardware" in my "Wish List". (added on 2/29/24)
Needed Items
- Short, distinguishing terms for "required-for-HAVA" photo IDs
and "required-for-everybody" photo IDs.
(The recent change to use "HAVA" as a qualifier in many places has helped a lot.)
(added on 1/13/24)
- A modern video of RT processing, in particular to show the [name,
address, photo ID] processing order.
- Ability for CJs to view the Basic online class with no WeLearn class signup required.
(not yet provided)
Ability to view an online version of the VAST module used in the HT class.
(provided on 1/26/24)
- A brief description of the Help Table Referral Form handling; put it with the pad in the CJ Binder.
- Change dates displayed on items in website lists, e.g., on video links.
Version numbers on all documents, e.g., the Provisional Envelope, the
Media Guide, and the PO website FAQs.
(edited on 2/29/24)
Miscellaneous Notes
- For additional suggestions that might apply to other polling places, see
- The new blank ballot handling by the Tabulator can conflict with curbside processing.
See item 3 in the "CURBSIDE" section of the
11/7/23 election postmortem.
(edited on 1/13/24)
- The Tabulator video does not show some important things, e.g.,
thumb drive and purple envelope handling.
At least just mention them in the video if not providing the details. (edited on 1/13/24)
- The BOE Staff is welcome to come, observe, and time 19-19's Setup and
Election Day procedures.
