How to

Create and Assign Polling Place Region Codes

The polling-place region feature lets you group polling places by geographical proximity for the purpose of assigning poll workers to training classes. Searching for workers by polling place region can be useful if you are offering the same class at various locations around the county and you want to limit the invitees to workers whose polling place is in the same region as the class.

To assign a polling place to a region:

Go to the polling place's maintenance dialog and select a region code from the drop-down list:
