Agenda Item #7 is now being discussed.
The PEO Performance report found that overall performance of election officials in Cuyahoga County was very strong. There was a significantly higher percentage of new workers involved in the November election. And, this was all in spite of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Great work!
An ongoing challenge will be convincing a decent percentage of the workers for future elections. Let's stay civically engaged Cuyahoga County.
Fewer elections were rejected but the department believes the raw number of rejected ballots is too high. Most common error is having a voter at the wrong precinct. There is no reason for the number to be this high as the tools are provided in training to address these errors.
Continued training emphasis will be on education of provisional voters and future poll workers. Cuyahoga BOE wants to keep the citizens engaged - both the voters and those who take a step further and work for BOE.
Questions by Ms. Inajo Chappel:
Has poll workers retention initiatives efforts happened before? Can we use grant money for this? Can we have poll worker recognition? We want to keep people coming back to work with us.

We have a substantial amount of money from the state to pay POE members, we may be able to use it ongoing but it depends if we have access to it. Cuyahoga BOE CLE program will continue which allows attorney to acquire education credits.
