{% endhint %}
## 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.
Example Voting Paused Report
Example 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.
