Additional Poll Worker Actions

The following steps must be completed by a poll worker.

Pause or Resume Voting

The Pause Voting action in the poll worker screen is generally used by jurisdictions conducting early voting over multiple days or during an emergency situation. To pause voting and prevent ballots from being cast at VxScan:

insert a poll worker card and select Menu
select Pause Voting

select Reprint Voting Paused Report to print more reports as necessary
remove the poll worker card

Voting is now paused. To resume voting:

insert a poll worker card and select Resume Voting

One copy of the voting resumed report will print. If additional reports are needed, select Reprint Voting Resumed Report to print more. The voting resumed report and the voting paused report should have the same ballots scanned count.

remove the poll worker card

The polls are now open. Below are examples of the voting paused report and voting resumed report.

Printing Previous Reports

If additional copies of a report need to be printed at any time, insert a poll worker card and select Menu to access the poll worker menu. Select Print xxx Report to print additional copies.

Additional reports can only be printed as long as no ballots have been scanned since the original report was printed.
