This simulations video series is intended to help election officials develop strategies for alleviating long lines at polling places. The simulations in this series explore different strategies based on voting processes, available resources, and voter arrival patterns. Through these video simulations, election officials will be able to visualize how these strategies may work in practice at a voting location.
You can find more information about the simulations and all other series here.

The first video explains how to use the information provided in this series. It also introduces key concepts and variables used throughout the series, including voting processes, resource allocation, and voter arrival patterns.
The second video discusses the general findings from the three different line alleviation strategies explored by this series. This includes the general impacts, best overall solutions, and considerations for practical use of the strategies.
The third video discusses the alleviation strategies applied to the three-step voting process with both the morning and afternoon peak arrival patterns.
The fourth video discusses the alleviation strategies applied to the two-step voting process with both the morning and afternoon peak arrival patterns.
The fifth video discusses the alleviation strategies applied to the three-step voting process with the morning peak arrival pattern.
The sixth video discusses the alleviation strategies applied to the two-step voting process with the morning peak arrival pattern.
The seventh video discusses the alleviation strategies applied to the three-step voting process with the afternoon peak arrival pattern.
The eighth video discusses the alleviation strategies applied to the two-step voting process with the afternoon peak arrival pattern.
