On page 82 is the following paragraph: Videos emphasize particular topics. For instance, the North Carolina Secretary of State produced “The Right to Vote: Accessible Options” to provide sensitivity training and teach poll workers how to assist disabled voters. (http://www.nd.gov/sos/electvote/voting/videos.html) The guide gives credit to the North Carolina Secretary of State when it should give credit to the North Dakota Secretary of State. The NC SOS does not work with elections in that state. We worked hard on our videos and would appreciate the credit. |

On page 70, there is a typo in the second paragraph under "Hands-on Training." The 1st word on the 5th line should be "to," not "o." On page 78, it would be helpful to include a disclaimer before the 1st scenario that the instructions may vary depending on state law. For example, the "Lost voter" scenario ("direct[] the voter to correct polling place.") and "Perfect Voter - Campaign Shirt" (ask voter to remove or cover campaign button/shirt, etc.) may change depending on state law. Maryland would direct the lost voter to his or her correct precinct and offer the "lost voter" a provisional ballot and would not make the voter with a campaign button or shirt remove or cover up the button or shirt. On page 81, it would be helpful if "best practices" for PowerPoint presentations were included here. A training expert we used suggested that the ideal length of a PowerPoint presentation was 10 minutes, that there should not be sound effects, and the slide transitions should be "smooth" and not "busy." On page 83, under "Dissemination," there is a suggestion to "partner with a local cable station to show the video." If the video includes information about voting system, consider adding a caveat that dissemination should be limited only to pollworkers if the video includes security information about the voting system. Any online training (pages 83-84) should also be accessible for pollworkers with disabilities. Making the training accessible should be mentioned in this section. It could be listed under "benefits" as it provides an alternative, self-paced way for pollworkers who may need more time to process information as well as "resources needed" as web development needs to consider accessibility. |

On page 74, standardize usage of hyphens for Role Playing vs. Role-playing. Also under Role Playing, the bullet for "Ask for identification" should be deleted, it will raise doubts/questions in states where asking for identification is not required. On page 77, the first sentence is incomplete. Need to insert "know" between words "office" and "about". |

Section 2, Chapter 14, Page 70: Second paragraph needs to add a “t” for the word "to" (5th line: “to feel how …” ) |
