Online Supplemental Review

This online course presents information and procedures election workers will use to serve in a polling place on Election Day. Most of the content relates to the duties of voting operations (VOP) judges, but there is important information for all election workers.  

This course is intended to be an optional supplement to the in-person hands-on training classes you attended. To check your understanding of the material, there are questions to answer in most sections.  However, there is no requirement to pass or complete the course. In addition, you may view it as many times as you choose. Use the Online Supplemental Review directions to access the course.
