Dear Ms. Heatherly,
This is a follow up to the discussion at yesterday's meeting with Poll Observers regarding the ATVs and Poll Observer access and viewing.
The NCSBE has produced 5 instructional videos for Poll Observers that are quite informative. https://www.youtube.com/@ncstateboardofelections. Videos 3 and 4 specifically address the Poll Observer's access to view to the ATVs. (Also see attachment.)
Video 3: Checking in as an Observer/What You Will See at the Polls. See video at 2:48 - What Poll Observers are allowed to witness in the voting process.
Video 4: What Observers Are Allowed to Do/What Observers May Not Do. See video at .54. View authorization-to-vote forms (ATVs), which are signed by voters at check-in.
Also, see S747 Election Law Changes, page 3: https://www.ncleg.gov/Sessions/2023/Bills/Senate/PDF/S747v6.pdf
"(l) An observer may obtain copies of the list of persons who have voted at each voting place during the times the voting place is open for voting. Counties using an "authorization to vote document" instead of pollbooks to indicate which persons have voted are in compliance with this requirement if they allow observers to inspect election records so that the observer can create a list of who has voted at each voting place. ..."
Thank you. I look forward to a clarification of yesterday's instructions.
