Election observer training slated for Saturday
King County Elections will hold a one-hour election observer training
session Saturday, Oct. 30, 2004. The session is open to individuals or
groups interested in observing polling, ballot processing, and/or election
night activities during the November 2nd General Election.
Election officials anticipate a number of observers at polling locations
on Election Day.
Training is not required to observe the elections process, though it
is strongly encouraged. Saturday’s training session will include
an overview of all Election Day activities and will orient potential observers
with the schedule and locations for each of the activities – including
polling place, ballot processing, canvassing, and election night reporting
activities.
“Nothing is more fundamental to a democracy than an open and transparent
election process,” said Dean Logan, director of King County Records,
Elections and Licensing Services. “We encourage and welcome our
community to learn more about the integrity that safeguards elections
in King County.”
The session will be held from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct.
30th in the 8th floor conference room of the King Street Center located
at 201 S. Jackson Street in Seattle.
For planning purposes, advance reservations for the session are encouraged.
Interested parties are asked to call 206-296-1565 or to email elections@kingcounty.gov
by Friday, Oct.29 at 5 p.m. to ensure available seating.
