About This Course

This course is designed to help new election officials understand the tasks involved in proofing ballots and help experienced election officials think through their existing processes to identify areas for improvement.

In this course we:

  • Evaluate potential ballot proofing team members
  • Organize the steps and people involved in a thorough systematic ballot proofing process
  • Practice using a systematic approach to proofing ballots and making corrections

We highly recommend learners take the companion course Ensuring Accurate Ballots 1: Ballot Creation, which covers the components and processes involved in building accurate ballots.

This course is self-paced and should take learners approximately two hours to complete.
