Elections administrator requests new staff, training pathway and optional ChatGPT Pro for outreach
Summary
Elections administrator Tandy asked for one full-time hire, a career-education pathway (RIO → CERA → CPL) to retain staff, small pay increases for ballot-board workers, furniture for new staff stations, and optional purchases including a ChatGPT Pro subscription for voter education content; she also warned of state file import issues and potential postage increases.
Tandy, speaking for the elections office, outlined personnel and technology requests to support growing workloads and new statutory duties. She asked for one full-time position and described a three-step career-education pathway so clerical staff can progress to certified roles: RIO, CERA and CPL. "The purpose of this series is to establish a structured pathway for professional growth in our office," Tandy said, adding the aim is to retain staff amid resignations across the state.
Tandy also asked permission to subscribe to ChatGPT Pro to speed creation of short videos and outreach materials and discussed a voter-education portal and online poll-worker training as optional items. She reported data-import problems with the state's records file and said the office hopes to be migrated off the current state system by the end of August; she warned of possible postage increases that could raise election-related mail costs.
