This included,but not limited to accepting candidate filings,data entry of candidates and contest to ensure accurate ballot layouts,generating Election Day poll books,coordinated voting machine/equipment delivery and pickup,recruiting and training One-Stop staff and Election Day precinct officials,ordering and receipt of ballots, and preparing precinct supplies. We visited every precinct to ensure phones lines were working properly to transmit Election Night results in a timely manner. Thorough logic and accuracy testing was completed on every voting machine to ensure votes were recorded properly. Laptops were loaded with one-stop voting software and setup at the one-stop sites. Processing the 3,501 registrations received prior to the April 13th registration deadline was a challenge, but my staff worked together efficiently and accomplished our goal to have all registration entered prior to the beginning of One-Stop voting. • Absentee Voting— As directed by the Elections Board, we established five One-Stop Early voting sites noting the number of votes cast at each site as follows: (total 16,579) 3,539-Hillsborough BOE 4,759-Carrboro Town Hall 294-Mt.Zion Church 3,998 -Rams Head 3,989-Seymour Senior Center
