Persimmon County Officers of Election 

Business Purpose: The local Electoral Board identified several preventable voting errors during the last election cycle. While the errors were corrected administratively on election day according to established procedure, the electoral board decided that prevention through improved training would decrease the number of errors and improve voter confidence in the system.  

The original training consisted of a power point presented by an Electoral Board member in person with a group of 10-50 participants. The sole hands-on experience activity occurred after the power point was complete.

After reviewing the materials and meeting with an electoral board SME, a design document was created with recommendations that the slides be simplified, learner engagement be improved through mock election activities, and knowledge checks be added to verify understanding. Additional suggestions included development of job aids to assist election officers on election day for each of the individual roles.

Please note that this is a scrubbed version of the original and that Persimmon is a fictional county.
