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
