  1. State Board of ElectionsAugust 2013 Training Conference ONE-STOP VOTING SITE SCHEDULE & ENSURING ACCESSIBILITY George McCUE

  2. ONE-STOP VOTING SITES • When is a One-Stop Implementation Plan required? • Using non-public buildings for One-Stop voting • What if my Board disagrees about One-Stop voting?

  3. ONE-STOP VOTING SITES • 2013: Business as usual • Starting in 2014: In even-numbered year primaries and elections, counties must provide the same number of cumulative open hours of One-Stop voting as were provided in the previous election

  4. ONE-STOP VOTING SITES

  5. ONE-STOP VOTING SITES In the 2010 General Election, Sample County operated two additional One-Stop sites. These sites were open from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. every weekday of the One-Stop voting period, and 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on the final Saturday before Election Day. 8 hours per day x12 weekdays =96 hours + 4 hours (for the last Saturday) = 100 hours = 200 x 2 sites cumulative hours

  6. ONE-STOP VOTING SITES In 2014, there will only be 7 weekdays in the One-Stop period. So how do you make up those hours? • Open site(s) more days • Open sites(s) for longer hours • Open additional sites One more thing: If there is more than one additional One-Stop site, they all must be open uniform hours.

  7. ONE-STOP VOTING SITES How to get to 200 hours in 2014? Probably will need to open more sites. Let’s see if we open 4 sites, but open at 11:00 a.m. instead of 10:00 a.m. (still close at 6:00 p.m.) 7 hours per day x7 weekdays =49 hours + 4 hours (for the last Saturday) = 53 hours = 212 x 4 sites cumulative hours

  8. ONE-STOP VOTING SITES We will help you by doing (some of) the math for you! In 2014, SBE will inform counties the cumulative hours of One-Stop voting in each county.

  9. ACCESSIBILITY ADA “checklist” • 39 pages, with explanations & illustrations • Can be printed out, used for reference (but don’t print out one for every voting site!)

  10. ACCESSIBILITY Condensed, actual checklist • 6 pages • Only the questions and criteria from the ADA “checklist” • Available in PDF form, can be completed electronically (and saved)

  11. ACCESSIBILITY What to provide to SBE to confirm accessibility: This 1-page cover sheet • Who performed survey • When • Basic site information • Any issues

  12. Thank you! For all that you do
