<v Speaker 1>Good morning, thank you for having me.

00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:37.200
<v Speaker 2>the Hamilton County Board of Elections. I think the last

15
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:40.039
<v Speaker 2>couple of elections we've gone down to early vote, you know,

16
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:42.799
<v Speaker 2>get the car load of the family members and zip

17
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:44.520
<v Speaker 2>on down there with my son and daughter. It is

18
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:48.000
<v Speaker 2>such a well oiled machine. Even times when I have voted,

19
00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:51.200
<v Speaker 2>when there's a line out the door, that line moves.

20
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:53.719
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you're not outside very long if there is

21
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:56.200
<v Speaker 2>a line, so don't let it discourage you. Plenty of parking,

22
00:00:56.600 --> 00:01:00.119
<v Speaker 2>such a major improvement over the prior location, and you

23
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:04.640
<v Speaker 2>got a wonderful website that answers everybody's any possible question

24
00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:08.000
<v Speaker 2>you could have about it, which is vote Hamilton County,

25
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:12.400
<v Speaker 2>Ohio dot gov, Sherry polland congratulations on the wonderful work

26
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:14.040
<v Speaker 2>that you're doing it. So, like I said, a very

27
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:17.079
<v Speaker 2>well oiled machine. So with that in mind, early votings

28
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:19.799
<v Speaker 2>fast approaching. What day are we going to start voting?

29
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:25.120
<v Speaker 3>Yes, voting begins on October eighth. That is the day

30
00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:28.439
<v Speaker 3>we open our doors for early in person voting that

31
00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:31.239
<v Speaker 3>you just talked about, and that's also the day we

32
00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:35.920
<v Speaker 3>begin mailing absentee ballots to those voters who have requested.

33
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:39.640
<v Speaker 2>Wye okay, absentee voutes go out on the early voting

34
00:01:39.719 --> 00:01:41.760
<v Speaker 2>start date. That's a good question to answer. I was

35
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:47.799
<v Speaker 2>kind of wondering about that now insofar as getting registered.

36
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:49.719
<v Speaker 2>If I mean someone's going on, I got to get registered,

37
00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:52.000
<v Speaker 2>how do they go about doing that? And how do

38
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:55.359
<v Speaker 2>they go about updating their their voter information because if

39
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:57.439
<v Speaker 2>you changed address things like that, you need to update

40
00:01:57.439 --> 00:01:58.079
<v Speaker 2>your voter role.

41
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:03.239
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, that's a great question because that's the first deadline

42
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:06.879
<v Speaker 3>that we're concerned about with this election because it's fast approaching.

43
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:10.599
<v Speaker 3>So for those citizens that have not yet registered to

44
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:15.240
<v Speaker 3>vote in the state of Ohio, The deadline is October seventh.

45
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:16.719
<v Speaker 1>It's easy to do.

46
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:21.400
<v Speaker 3>Folks can register online by going to our website. You

47
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:24.960
<v Speaker 3>just gave that website, I'll give it again. Vote Hamilton County,

48
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:29.680
<v Speaker 3>Ohio dot gov. When registering online, citizens do need to

49
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:35.120
<v Speaker 3>provide two forms of ID, both driver's license number or

50
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:39.520
<v Speaker 3>State of Ohio Identification Card number and the last for

51
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:41.800
<v Speaker 3>digits of their socials, so when you know, it's an

52
00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:46.439
<v Speaker 3>extra layer of security. When folks are registering online, they

53
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:49.919
<v Speaker 3>can also register at their local Bureau motor Vehicle at

54
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:53.039
<v Speaker 3>a public library, they can come here to the Board

55
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:57.000
<v Speaker 3>of Elections. When registering using a paper form, only one

56
00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:01.520
<v Speaker 3>form of ID is required, and on Monday, October seventh,

57
00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:04.719
<v Speaker 3>our board will be open until nine pm to register

58
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:06.000
<v Speaker 3>people to vote.

59
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:08.759
<v Speaker 2>Sure you mentioned you need a photo, a proper photo ID,

60
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:12.159
<v Speaker 2>the state issued idea or the driver's license to register online.

61
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:16.479
<v Speaker 2>How do you get the driver's license information in when

62
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:18.960
<v Speaker 2>you when you're registering online? Is it just your driver's

63
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:21.080
<v Speaker 2>license number? Do you have to scan it or how

64
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:21.800
<v Speaker 2>does that work?

65
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:24.360
<v Speaker 1>It's just your driver's license number.

66
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:27.879
<v Speaker 3>You input your driver's license number when you go to

67
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:30.439
<v Speaker 3>our website, it'll actually take you to the Secretary of

68
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:37.319
<v Speaker 3>State's website. The state wide voter registration database communicates with

69
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:41.800
<v Speaker 3>a BUA Motor Vehicle database. They share inform, they share

70
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:46.719
<v Speaker 3>data and information, so when you register online, that's why

71
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:50.080
<v Speaker 3>you have to have both forms of ID, and then

72
00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:53.120
<v Speaker 3>we use the signature that you have on file with

73
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:54.560
<v Speaker 3>the BUA Motor Vehicles.

74
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:57.400
<v Speaker 2>Fair enough, And in terms of your hours of operation,

75
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:00.439
<v Speaker 2>you're normally eight to five Monday through Friday. I see

76
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:03.639
<v Speaker 2>you have eight to four pm hours on Saturday. This

77
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:07.400
<v Speaker 2>is after early voting starts, but you're also open on Sunday.

78
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:08.520
<v Speaker 2>I was amazed to see that.

79
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:13.159
<v Speaker 3>Yes, so our normal office hours are actually eight am

80
00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:17.439
<v Speaker 3>to four pm. And then when once early voting starts

81
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:21.040
<v Speaker 3>on October eighth, early voting is from eight to five.

82
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:24.040
<v Speaker 3>And then the closer we get to the election day,

83
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:29.040
<v Speaker 3>the more extended hours we have for early voting. So

84
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:32.720
<v Speaker 3>the first two weeks is eight to five Monday through Friday.

85
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:36.800
<v Speaker 3>The third week is eight to six, the fourth week

86
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:39.120
<v Speaker 3>it's actually eight to I'm.

87
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:41.720
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, it's actually seventh thirty to seven thirty.

88
00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:44.399
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yes, and then we're open, like you mentioned, we're

89
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:48.839
<v Speaker 3>actually opening because it's a presidential year. The two weekends before,

90
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:53.000
<v Speaker 3>so two Saturdays and two Sundays people have the opportunity

91
00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:53.720
<v Speaker 3>to vote.

92
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:56.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, the hours changed throughout.

93
00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:59.279
<v Speaker 3>The month, so I highly recommend people go onto our

94
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:01.680
<v Speaker 3>website and get the scheduled.

95
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:04.120
<v Speaker 2>It's a really easy website to navigate. Again, I'll give

96
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:06.240
<v Speaker 2>you props for making it so easy for my listeners

97
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:09.439
<v Speaker 2>and everybody else vote. Hamilton County, Ohio dot gov. Now

98
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:13.639
<v Speaker 2>moving over to the all important subject of poll workers here,

99
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:16.839
<v Speaker 2>Sherry Poland, let me guess you're in need of poll

100
00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:18.439
<v Speaker 2>workers for the upcoming election.

101
00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:23.920
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yes, we are, and you know, I know it's

102
00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:24.519
<v Speaker 1>a long day.

103
00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:27.560
<v Speaker 3>I think that's the that's the reason we are given

104
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:30.879
<v Speaker 3>most on why people do not want to work the polls.

105
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:32.360
<v Speaker 1>And we understand, lame.

106
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:35.279
<v Speaker 3>The team here at the Board of Elections arise at

107
00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:37.639
<v Speaker 3>the Board of Elections before the poll workers get to

108
00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:40.399
<v Speaker 3>the polls, and we're here for hours after the poll

109
00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:43.439
<v Speaker 3>workers have gotten home. So I understand it's a long day.

110
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:45.839
<v Speaker 3>But I'll tell you this one will go quickly because

111
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:49.600
<v Speaker 3>you'll be busy. Yeah, and it's you know it will.

112
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:54.120
<v Speaker 3>And you know we typically see high turnouts and presidential

113
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:58.439
<v Speaker 3>elections Hamilton County. You know usually somewhere between seventy and

114
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:03.120
<v Speaker 3>seventy four percent, So that's good. You are paid for

115
00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:07.800
<v Speaker 3>your work. And actually, earlier this year, our Board of Elections,

116
00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:11.120
<v Speaker 3>along with the Board of County Commissioners, gave the poll

117
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:14.519
<v Speaker 3>workers a raise. Poll workers now make two hundred and

118
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:17.279
<v Speaker 3>twenty five dollars for their service, and if you have

119
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:21.160
<v Speaker 3>a manager's position and with additional responsibilities, you'll make up

120
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:23.680
<v Speaker 3>to two hundred and seventy five dollars. So you are

121
00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:27.279
<v Speaker 3>paid for your work. It's a great reserve your community,

122
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:31.360
<v Speaker 3>and it's not a difficult job. We really do everything

123
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:34.360
<v Speaker 3>we can to support the poll workers. We train them

124
00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:38.199
<v Speaker 3>and then we have a special help desk line dedicated

125
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:40.600
<v Speaker 3>just to them for their questions on election day.

126
00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:43.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, and I can only go back go to the

127
00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:46.120
<v Speaker 2>experience of my wife and some of my other friends

128
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:49.199
<v Speaker 2>have had working the polls. I don't ever recall hearing

129
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:54.480
<v Speaker 2>about anything involving confrontations or arguments that I think. The

130
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:56.600
<v Speaker 2>people who volunteer to be poll workers are in it

131
00:06:56.680 --> 00:06:59.199
<v Speaker 2>for all the right reasons, and the motivations are pure

132
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:01.759
<v Speaker 2>and clear. They want and maintain the integrity of the vote.

133
00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:04.120
<v Speaker 2>And it doesn't matter what party you are You're there

134
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:06.160
<v Speaker 2>to do a job on behalf of the public and

135
00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:09.800
<v Speaker 2>the voters. So yeah, I mean low likelihood of anything

136
00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:13.199
<v Speaker 2>going wrong. I would imagine Sherry, that.

137
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:13.959
<v Speaker 1>Is so true.

138
00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:16.720
<v Speaker 3>It is very rare that we have any type of

139
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:20.480
<v Speaker 3>problems amongst the poll workers. It's just like the team

140
00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:22.720
<v Speaker 3>here at the Board of Elections that I'm so proud

141
00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:26.319
<v Speaker 3>to be a part of. It's Democrats and Republicans. We

142
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:29.639
<v Speaker 3>put our politics aside when we walk into the board

143
00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:31.839
<v Speaker 3>and poll workers do the same when they walk into

144
00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:34.759
<v Speaker 3>that location because we all have a common goal, and

145
00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:37.560
<v Speaker 3>that is to administer affair and free election.

146
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:42.360
<v Speaker 2>Vote Hamilton County, Ohio dot gov. All the information you

147
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:45.600
