TIPS FOR MONITORING OR OBSERVING THE ELECTION AT POLLING SITES

MOVING THE LINES AT THE VOTING SITE

It is important to make every effort to ensure that voter's have a positive experience at the polls when voting.

Be friendly, helpful and polite, but try to keep the lines moving so voters will not have a long wait.

ASSISTING DISABLED AND ELDERLY VOTERS AT THE VOTING SITE

Common Courtesies and Guidelines

• Be considerate of the extra time it might take for a person who has a disability or is elderly to get things done, and give unhurried attention to a person who has difficulty speaking.  Make chair available for people who have difficulty standing.
• Speak directly to the person who has a disability rather than to a companion who may be with them.
• Speak calmly, slowly and director to a person with a hearing problem.  Your facial expressions, gestures and body movements help in understanding.  Don't shout or speak in the person's ear.  If full understanding is doubtful, write a note to the person with a hearing problem.
• Greet a person who is visually impaired by letting the person know who and where you are.  Provide a guiding device such as a ruler or card for signing forms. 
• Be aware that dogs that assist people with disabilities should be admitted into all buildings.  Such dogs are highly trained and need to special care other than that provided by the owner.
• When offering walking assistance, allow the person to take your arm and tell him or her if you are approaching steps of inclines.  Before pushing someone in a wheelchair, ask if you may do so and how you should proceed.
