Your School or Library as a Polling Place: Election Site Security for November 5, 2024
Part of the Library 2.0 Service, Safety, and Security Series with Dr. Steve Albrecht
OVERVIEW:
The United States national presidential election this year promises to be an emotional event. It’s hard to recall when an election has created such strong feelings on both sides. If your school or library has served as a polling place for your community in the past and will do so again, you have certainly thought of the pending security concerns related to the protection of your facility, staff, poll workers, and the ballots. If this is the first time your school or library will be a polling site, you’ve probably already started having a lot of meetings with county election coordinators, your County Clerk’s office, the Registrar of Voters, and perhaps even the Secretary of State’s office in your state.
November 5, 2024 will be a long day of work for the school and library employees and poll volunteers who commit their time and energy to a safe and successful election process. This session will help schioil and library leaders and employees in every state to better understand the staff, facility, and ballot protection issues; legal and fair use of the building; weather concerns; and how to handle issues around on-site electioneering, protests, and news media visits.
Dr. Steve Albrecht has interviewed a state expert on election safety and security and will show a short video segment as part of this webinar.
