Questions from Training
Some observers are very interested in everything that happens and others are content to watch one station. If we need to remake a ballot, is it a requirement that the observer watch us? Should we specifically invite the observer to come watch each time we remake a ballot? The observer is not required to watch the ballots being remade. If we do need to remake a ballot, our procedure is to offer observers the opportunity to watch. Whether an observer chooses to take us up on that offer is completely up to them. If an observer tells us they are not interested in seeing any ballots being remade, we will honor their decision.
Is it true that an out-of-state ID cannot be used for voting?
You are correct. A driver license or state ID card being used as voter ID must be issued by the Wisconsin DOT.
Can a UW-Madison Wiscard be used as voter ID? No, the Wiscard does not meet the state's voter ID criteria. UW-Madison students may get a voter identification card from the Wiscard office, though.
I have noticed that some poll workers lick their fingers when working with paper or turning the pages of the poll book. This is unsanitary. What are some better options? Please use the rubber fingertips or the Sortkwik fingertip moisturizer provided in the supply kit.
