The CS work is described in the "Curbside Processing" section of the Assignments email. The TM work is already well documented in the Voter Assistance Quick Guide. The Door Monitor (DM) controls the voter entry into the Narthex if we have a line waiting to enter, as may happen with surges during the day. If one or more of the three RT lines starts to become empty while the others are not, the DM can ask voters waiting outside the Narthex if any have last-name letters that match the empty line(s); if so, at least some can be moved ahead to the appropriate RT line. The DM also reminds entering voters to be sure they have brought in their photo ID. Of course the voters have already passed multiple signs with this reminder, but some may ignore all signs. The Line Monitor (LM) directs voters to the appropriate RT line, per the first letter of their last name. Often the LM position is combined with the DM. However if the DM and LM stations are far apart (e.g., the entry door and the RT lines are widely separated), the LM and DM should be separate; then the LM usually handles the empty-line query described above. The Voting Booth (VB) Official guides people to available booths and then from the booths to the Tabulator. The Tabulator may be out of sight from where some people voted. The VB keeps the booth area clean, e.g., removing discarded campaign handouts and maybe discovers things voters have accidentally left behind, e.g., keys, eyeglasses, and driver licenses have been found. The VB also works with the BT Officials to keep the ATV and Tabulator counts in sync. This is done by providing to the BT the current Tabulator count and the number of ballots that have not yet gotten into the Tabulator after leaving the BT. Voters with such ballots are on the way to a booth, or are in a booth, or are on the way to the Tabulator after leaving a booth. The VB may also act as a Curbside Official (CS) if a second (or third) CS Official is needed. Curbside work is complicated, but clearly laid out in https://jgkhome.name/WakeBOE/curbside-2026-November.htm , which documents some required steps that the Manual and privacy sleeve insert do not mention. I have prepared a curbside folder for each CS Official. It contains all the forms needed for curbside work and has a copy of https://jgkhome.name/WakeBOE/curbside-2026-November.htm taped to the front. Starting at poll closing time, I and the two Judges will be tied up closing out the Tabulator, packing the ballot boxes, sticking on labels, checking and signing many forms, sealing bags, etc. Everyone else, i.e., all the Assistants, will be handling the packing-up tasks described in the "Packing Up" web page, https://jgkhome.name/WakeBOE/Packing_Up_after_Election_HLC.htm and in the "All Officials Quick Guide". Judy will be our Pack-Up Coordinator to help get everything in the right place and checked off the appropriate "Packing Up" page. Jeff
