Dear Election Day Working Group Members,



I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving and for those of you that had
elections this past November I hope everything is finalized and certified.



I am writing because as of today there has been no activity on our Twiki
pages. Now that the election and Thanksgiving are behind us I am hoping you
can dedicate a small amount of time to this project over the next few weeks
before the holiday season is in full swing.



To get started we are looking for the following from the various
participants:



*Election Officials* – Any documents, policies, procedures or manuals you
are willing to share concerning election day processes. You can simply just
load them on the appropriate page and be done if your time is limited or
you can further break them down into specific areas at your convenience.
Please understand that this is not an all or nothing approach. We
appreciate any contribution you are willing to make because every little
bit truly helps.



*Vendors* – Any overviews, instructions or manuals you are willing to share
concerning election day processes as it relates to your products. You can
simply just load them on the appropriate page and be done if your time is
limited or you can further break them down into specific areas at your
convenience. Please understand that this is not an all or nothing approach.
We appreciate any contribution you are willing to make because every little
bit truly helps.



*Interested Parties* – Any observations, suggestions or articles you may
have written or seen that you are willing to share concerning election day
processes will be extremely helpful to this overall project. You can simply
just load them on the appropriate page and be done if your time is limited
or you can further break them down into specific areas at your convenience.
Please understand that this is not an all or nothing approach. We
appreciate any contribution you are willing to make because every little
bit truly helps.



I know we are all very busy but I cannot stress enough the importance of
this first step in the process of creating a new set of Voluntary Voting
System Guidelines. We as an election community have been given the unique
opportunity to have our voices heard at the beginning of the process which
will then carry through the entire process as opposed to just being asked
for comments after a finished product is released. Let’s not waste this
opportunity.



Thank you,



Robert Giles
