Election Day Display Option

To access: VOTER REGISTRATION > Voter Maintenance > {voter} > Utilities > Set Up Election Day Display

The Election Day Display helps you respond to inquiries about where a voter should vote or why a voter is not in the precinct register. On the morning of Election Day, every user running VOTER REGISTRATION > Voter Maintenance should have the Election Day Display option turned on.

The Election Day display automatically appears on the day of general and primary elections. For other elections, you will need to turn it on after you have set the election status to Return Processing Only. The Election Day Display option can be set ahead of time for a specific election and will turn on automatically on election day. If multiple elections are held on the same day, turning on the Election Day display for one election turns it on for all elections held that day.

The Election Day Display provides a slightly different view of the Maint tab in voter records. In place of the voter's signature, the display indicates the location where the voter can be found in the precinct register. If there is more information than can be shown in the box, click on the box to see a full display of its contents.

If the voter is not in the precinct register, the display notes the reason why. For example, the voter below is not in the precinct register because he early voted.

You can also look up out-of-county voters on the Election Day Display. You will get their record along with a messaging saying they are not registered in your county. If a voter has already voted in another county, this will be indicated on the Election Day Display.
