Note to Election Judges Regarding the June 11th Election

Dear Delegate or Election Judge,

It is our hope that the June 11 election will run smoothly and that the votes will be accurately recorded. To that end, we make the following suggestions:

1. Keep the polls open 1 to 2 hours, to give everyone a chance to vote. Put your polling station close to the main office where members swipe in.

2. If possible, before closing the polls, remind teachers who haven’t voted to do so, either individually or through an announcement on the intercom.

3. The election rules state that you should write “absent” in the comments section next to any voter who is absent. Please do so.

4. In the May 21 election, some schools were not counted because they supposedly did not include their signature list. Make sure that is included with the ballots inside the ballot box and to be safe, make a copy of the list before you put it in the box.

5. Get a receipt from the AAA driver who picks up your ballots.

6. If ballots are not picked up by 3:30, call AAA, 312.616.6560, to report that immediately.

Thank you.
