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.

• ◯ The Judges Team handles the items in the two Judges handle these items sections on pages 1 and 2.
• ☐ The Assistants Team handles the items in the two Assistants handle these items sections on pages 1 and 2.
• ☐ The Assistants Team also handles the checkbox items on page 3.

After all the collecting has been done, some items in the Assistants section of page 1 (the WCBOE Table page) will be merged with items in the Judges section to assemble what will be returned to the WCBOE dropoff site.

To help distribute work among the Assistants, some additional formatting is done on page 2 (the Jeff's Table page).  The Assistants section 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; this should help you locate the signs.

Judges handle these items

•  Chief Judge Supply Bag (some items in this bag are collected in the section below)
  •  Gold Envelope (this envelope contains the flash drive from the Tabulator)

Signs Put at Jeff's Table    (details are in blocks 2 and 3 on the preceding page)

Per 2:  My color-printed signs: Put these signs in the "Jeff's Signs" box at Jeff's Table. The file jackets used on the sign stands will also go in the "Jeff's Signs" box. The big "CAST YOUR BALLOT" sign can go under the box.

Some signs below are haloed in the parking lot signs retrieval diagram, appearing like this: 

Per 3:  Designated A-frame and H-frame signs:  Put these signs beside Jeff's Table.  Don't detach the signs.

• The H-frame signs for Jeff's Table are haloed.  Use two small bungee cords to bundle them.
• The two special A-frame signs have a yellow tag: "Property of Jeff Knauth".  Partially detach PVC-pipe braces.

Per 3:  Vinyl haloed sign and rod hung on two SCES traffic cones:  Don't detach wires and sign from the rod.

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 Miscellaneous section below).
  •   All A-frame signs NOT having "Property of Jeff Knauth" tag  [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.
