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) 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.

EXCEPTIONS

Voter's label 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.

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

ID , V , or A on the label: Ignore for now -- these will be handled later in Step 3. 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

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: Exception(s)? NO: Voter ==> Ballot Table; YES: Voter ==> Help Table

EXCEPTIONS

ID on the label: Go to Process HAVA ID. Return here with the ID exception maybe now deleted.

Still exceptions?: If any items in the ATV Exceptions List still apply to this label, complete ATV processing and send the voter to the Help Table by going to Finish Handling Exceptions.

If the voter is Unaffiliated,
- 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.
(Do only for primary elections.)
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.

ATV Exceptions List

All Possible Exceptions Handled by the Registration Table

V on the label. (verify address, per BOE)
A on the label. (last-minute absentee voter, per BOE)
[ Name on label is wrong ] ATV box marked. (per voter)
[ Address on label is wrong ] ATV box marked. (per voter)
[ Party dispute ] ATV box marked. (per voter)
[ No ID ] and [ HAVA ID ] ATV boxes marked. (ID check failed)
[ No ID ] and [ Photo ID ] ATV boxes marked. (ID check failed)

Process HAVA ID

Ask the voter to present a valid form of HAVA ID.
Then perform the HAVA ID-required check using
the Notice to Voters with No Acceptable ID pollbook page. See ID Hints
If the check passes, mark only the ATV Section A box that specifies the type of HAVA ID the voter showed. This effectively deletes the ID exception, as if it had never been on the ATV.
If the check fails, mark both the [ No ID ] and [ HAVA ID ] boxes in Section A of the ATV. The ID exception will remain, requiring Help Table intervention, as indicated by these two marked boxes.
Now go back to Step 3 to see if there are any exceptions left.

Finish Handling Exceptions [Send voter to the Help Table.]

Mark the ATV box(es) to indicate the reason(s) for sending the voter to the Help Table. Some boxes might already be marked, but not yet the [ "V" on label ] or [ "A" on label ] boxes.
If the [ Address on label is wrong ] or the [ Party dispute ] ATV boxes are marked, X out any ballot style printed on the label.
DO NOT have the voter sign the ATV.
DO NOT complete the Official's Initials box.
Send the voter to the Help Table with the ATV.
