Board to trial alphabetized binder checklist for upcoming election
Summary
The clerk proposed a 47‑page alphabetized binder checklist to simplify tracking during simultaneous elections; the board agreed to trial the format at the upcoming slow election and to assess tabs and column usage.
The clerk proposed switching to an alphabetized binder-style checklist for the next election to reduce errors and make it easier to track multiple elections at once. "I was going to propose trying a different checklist to check people off which would be a binder that is alphabetized," the clerk said, explaining the system would allow staff to track two elections concurrently and reduce dyslexia-related errors by letting the computer alphabetize entries.
Board members discussed layout details — tabs for letter groups, which columns indicate absentee or verification needs, and whether to print on both sides — and agreed to trial the 47‑page binder in the upcoming slow election to decide if it should be adopted more broadly.
