Program Title
Election Education and Quick Guide
Program Summary
Election integrity has taken center stage in America and confidence in the electoral process is of critical importance. Often, there is a lack of accurate information for voters and insufficient training for election staff. This erodes voter confidence and increases the chance of human error by election officials. To address this need, the Board of Elections developed the Voter Education Module to provide accurate and vetted information from subject matter experts in the form of a quick guide booklet. The Poll Worker Quick Guide has a lay-flat design, index, and uncovered tabs to provide fast answers to the most popular questions. The guide works with the countys existing Poll Worker Quick Guide and contains information to help election employees respond to voter and poll worker questions. A HAVA grant covered professional printing. QR surveys provide feedback loops for quantifiable results. This branded bipartisan project improves public sector engagement through educational components specifically designed for four target audiences: voters, poll workers, election officials, and election administrators. Both guides can be easily adapted for use in other jurisdictions.
