Background and Discussion:
As the quantity of voting equipment has increased, so has the demand for ETC Technicians during election cycles. The complexity of this equipment necessitates assistance from poll workers. Additionally, there has been an uptick in the need for upgrades and programming of voting equipment during non-election periods. The ADA is a vital law that ensures equal access and opportunities for individuals with disabilities in various aspects of life, including voting. Vote center locations must be ADA accessible to meet compliance guidelines. Currently, the ADA team consists of four (4) full-time teams and 15 temporary staff, most of whom have been with CCO elections for over two years. They conduct thorough compliance surveys on all potential vote centers year-round, particularly in the months leading up to an election. The Recruitment Coordinator plays a critical role in the successful execution of elections by overseeing the recruitment of election workers. This involves actively seeking qualified individuals months in advance of the election cycle and staffing them at designated vote centers.
