Election Equipment Training Videos

The following election equipment training videos are not required. However, they are very informational and a great refresher!

These are general videos from a variety of entities although the processes are similar they are not exact. The information in these videos is very helpful for all election judges!

• Poll Pad YouTube video
• How to Load the Election Ballot into the OmniBallot (for the primary it will be a 1 sided ballot)
• OmniBallot AVD-Capital Report YouTube video
• DS200 Ballot Tabulator-Complementary Voter Education Video on the DS200 Ballot Tabulator Video
• DS200 Pollworker instructions from Jackson Co, AL (some processes differ slightly; i.e. polls close at 8 p.m. in Minnesota and in Cass County we roll up the tape and stick it back inside the machine, our envelopes look and are labeled different and we have a different process for spoiled ballots; it is not necessary to tear the corner of the ballot.
