Findings 11 findings

The training did not require demonstrated competence and capability by each poll worker in the use of equipment and the sessions were too large.

Training material and verbal instructions were incomplete, inconsistent, and contradictory.

The training did not include demonstrated hands-on competence or the capability of each poll worker to apply proper procedures.

The Guide does not include any ePB operating instructions or troubleshooting information. A separate simplified user guide covered the ePB in the most general of terms.

Too much class time was spent reading the Guide aloud and not enough on the setup and operation of the equipment.

The training was hosted by experienced poll workers but they apparently had no lesson plan to follow.

An actual mock setup and breakdown of a precinct was not performed by the trainees.

Many post-election critiques filled out by poll workers indicated they thought the training they received was not adequate.

The training offered by the Registrar for the June and November 2016 elections did not correct the problems identified and published in the 2012-2013 and the 2014-2015 Jury reports.

The training offered by the Registrar was disorganized and did not meet the

F11

The Internet connectivity requirements established by VoteCal dictate a more comprehensive and effective training program for poll workers.

Recommendations 8

R1

Training sessions should have fewer trainees to allow them the time to become proficient with all aspects of the process.
R2

The training sessions would better serve trainees by beginning each session with a mock polling place setup.
R3

The training for setup and closing of the mock polling place should be organized so that new poll workers do most of the work under the supervision of trainers and more experienced poll workers.
R4

The Guide should be a reference for the poll worker, not a training aid. Important points should be summarized with slides or other visual aids.
R5

The Registrar should consider hiring a professional training expert to organize and develop an effective training course including a comprehensive lesson plan.
R6

Future poll worker training should include the additional requirements that will be in effect for the 2018 election due to changes resulting from VoteCal and SB450.
R7

Training on the web-connected ePB for the 2018 election should, in particular, be comprehensive.
R8

The County’s poll worker training should meet the recommendations included in the 2016 Poll Worker Training Standards.
