Hmmmm.... sounds like That Sidney Powell woman used the same BS as Bannon.
Some part of some machine may or may not have been created or used or sound like something from Indonesia. Here is the real story, so join today!
What is CAP?
CAP (Central Absentee Precinct) is responsible for processing mailed-in absentee ballots at the Fairfax County Government Center on Election Day.
How is CAP different from regular polling places?
There are no in-person voters at CAP on Election Day.
Mailed-in absentee ballot envelopes are reviewed and sorted, then ballots are tallied by machine or by hand.
Election officers work in teams of three to check-in voters, and teams of three or more to tally votes on ballots that cannot be scanned by a voting machine.
Generally, work is conducted while seated.
Opening time is flexible, and based on the volume of ballots received.
How many election officers are needed in CAP?
CAP operations require far fewer election officers than are needed to fill all of the polling place positions; about 40-90 election officers are needed for General Elections, and a lower number for smaller elections, based on the number of absentee ballots.
What are my responsibilities on Election Day?
Arrive on time and serve your full shift, either full-day or half-day.
Serve on a team as the check-in officer, electronic pollbook (EPB) officer, or ballot officer to process absentee ballot envelopes.
Assist in preparing ballots for scanning.
Serve on a team to hand-count votes on ballots that cannot be electronically scanned.
Assist in opening and closing CAP, and other tasks as necessary throughout the day.
When will I be working?
General Elections (November):
Full-day shift: 5:30 a.m. - 9 p.m. or when operations are completed.
Morning shift: 5:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.
Afternoon shift: 1:00 p.m. - 9 p.m. or when operations are completed.
Other elections: CAP and EO schedules are based on the volume of absentee ballots received. CAP EOs will be informed.
Will I be trained?
The duties of CAP officers differ greatly from the those of polling place officers. Therefore, CAP officers must attend CAP-specific training. The training offered for polling place officers is not required for CAP officers. Training classes last approximately 3 hours.
There is training for new CAP officers as well as refresher training for returning officers.
Registration is required! Sign up through your Election Officer Portal Account once we announce that classes have been scheduled (please see the How Do I Apply? section for more information on creating an account).
