BCA confirms preprocessing and training schedule; sets pre‑election meeting for Dec. 15
Summary
The BCA confirmed three preprocessing sessions (the 17th, 24th and the 1st) and set a pre‑election meeting on the 15th at 10:00 for approvals, tabulator logic and accuracy testing, omniballot setup and emergency procedures; staff will send a draft schedule to participants.
Ray circulated a draft schedule and proposed several preprocessing and training dates. He told the board he would "send out to everybody online, after tonight, the draft schedule" and asked members to review tasks, trainings and safety procedures. After discussion the board settled on three preprocessing dates — Thursday the 17th, Thursday the 24th, and Friday the 1st — with a pre‑election meeting on Tuesday the 15th at 10:00 to approve election officials and perform tabulator logic and accuracy testing.
Members debated start times (9:00 vs. 10:00), staffing levels, and whether to run multiple districts simultaneously; Ray cautioned that logic and accuracy testing must occur within the statutory window before preprocessing. Donna noted the SIM cards and tabulator disks were still pending, so testing and preprocessing timelines will depend on receiving that equipment. Staff committed to email follow‑up and to finalize times that accommodate volunteers.
