<br /> <br />account for the votes from each of those sources and total the precinct results. The <br />Board members agreed with this approach for the current election and will endeavor to <br />gather information from election officials in other jurisdictions on their experience with <br />use of the new simplified SOR. <br /> <br />Ms. Bencoach reported progress on hiring to fill the voting equipment tech positions. <br />Four individuals have been offered appointment, one as the principal technician, which <br />is a half-time position, and three others to serve as needed during election times. She <br />reported that these hiring actions may be completed as soon as the end of next week, <br />September 8. <br /> <br />Appointment of Election Officials <br /> <br />Assistant Registrar Morton presented applications from seven individuals seeking to <br />become election officials. These were reviewed by the Board and approved <br />unanimously on a motion by the Chair, seconded by the Vice-chair. The following <br />individuals were appointed: <br /> <br />JoAnn Seapy <br />James E. Harmon <br />M. Cecile Forte <br />Stacey Coates <br />Theresa E.

Furthermore, this inspection also <br />revealed that one of the electronic poll books (EPB) is missing as well. This device, a <br />lap top computer, contains software provided by a contractor, VR Systems, but no voter <br />data. An examination of documentation related to a recent software upgrade from this <br />vendor suggests that this device may have been missing at least since some time in <br />2015. Corrective action is being taken to establish strict serial number inventory <br />controls on all look-up devices and EPBs before they are issued to the precincts for the <br />November 7 election. <br /> <br />The staff has prepared a public statement on the loss of the look-up device for use in <br />the event of enquiries regarding this loss. That statement specifies that the limited voter <br />information loaded on the device is identical to that available, as required by law, for <br />public inspection at the registrar’s office.
