Chapter 2 – Basic Poll Watcher Rights & Responsibilities

2.A.3.g.3. Multiple Days.

In polling places which are open multiple days, such as early voting sites, the poll watcher must present new credentials each day.

2.A.3.g.4. Leaving One Site For Another

If the poll watcher leaves one polling place to go to another polling place, the poll watcher must present new credentials at each site. The poll watcher can, on the same day, return to a site where he/she already presented credentials.

2.A.3.g.5 Leaving & Entering Before the Polls Open & After the Polls Close

Avoid leaving and entering the polling place before the polls are open and after the polls are closed.

The election judges have a lot of work to do. The election judges simply do not have the time to lock and unlock the door for you. This is a courtesy that you extend to the election judges. It also insures the safety and integrity of the vote.

Plan your day so that you have what you need before you enter the polling place in the morning. At the end of the day, when the election judge announces the polls will be closing in one-half hour, check that you have all that you need to remain until the canvassing of the vote is complete.
