Election Planning and Sizing

To access:  REPORTING > Reports > Election Worker Reports > Election Staffing Reports > Election Worker Staffing Levels

This dialog lets you set certain of the precinct-register parameters used by the report Election Worker Staffing Levels to determine how many workers are needed at each precinct based on the number of precinct-register books. The parameters set here are calculated against the staffing minimums for each position specified on the Election Worker Position Maintenance dialog (the minimum number of workers required at each precinct or the staffing in each position required for the number of precinct-register books at the precinct, whichever is greater).
