BASIC INFORMATION: People

Who are the people in the polling place?

• CHIEF AND ASSISTANT CHIEF : Work together as a team to manage the polling place. They assign and rotate election officers throughout the day. Most importantly, they are trained to handle all non-routine voter situations.
• ELECTION OFFICERS : Throughout the day, regular election officers greet voters, check-in voters, issue ballots, and direct voters to mark & cast ballots. Some precincts may have Language Officers, who perform all regular officer duties but also assist voters who speak a different language, such as Spanish, Vietnamese, or Korean. (All Language Officers have been assessed for their language skills.)
• HIGH SCHOOL PAGES : Only serve in November elections. They may help in many ways, but they are not registered voters and may not touch voting equipment.
