HAVA Partners : Meeting the HAVA Challenge
General Voter Education Online Voting Center Poll Worker Training ems

The HAVA Partners Online Poll Worker Training Program (“PWTP”) is a web-based training system with the following features:

  • An audio introduction (with closed caption) that welcomes users to the site and explains what information will be presented.
  • A customizable narrative explaining in detail the various job duties, forms used and procedures involved in running elections. The local or state election officials will provide this content to HAVA Partners. We will then work with you to refine the content in preparation for publication on the PWTP.
  • Case studies illustrating real-life scenarios that commonly occur at the polls. Studies show that people comprehend more information when its relevance to the job they are doing, or are about to do, is demonstrated rather than only explained. We use animation, video and interactivity to teach Poll Workers what they need to know and show them how it will arise at the polls. PWTP case studies are based on real life scenarios that commonly occur at the polls.
  • Interactive testing to test and certify users’ knowledge of information presented on the PWTP. You may set the passing score and determine how to direct those who do not successfully complete the quiz. Quiz results will be made available to you on a secure Internet page.
  • A set of frequently-asked-questions and corresponding answers to help users both understand the training material and to trouble shoot difficulties they may have using the technology.
  • A glossary of terms used with the PWTP and likely to be used in connection with training.
  • Downloadable checklists to assist with preparation of election polling places and activities.
  • Animated and video demonstrations of the set up, operation and break-down of voting equipment and forms used at the polls.
  • Reports and User Data. HAVA Partners Online PWTP tracks user activity including their results on the interactive quizzes. This includes data on who has logged in, how much time the user spent on the site, did the user complete the quiz and, if so, what score was obtained. Results from the tests can be used to focus and improve face to face training.
  • User Support: HAVA Partners believes strongly in simple, yet intuitive design, dependable technology and strong customer support. This has proven to minimize any difficulties users have in accessing and navigating the PWTP site. We also maintain a three-tier Customer Support Center that generates (i) an automated retrieval of forgotten passwords, (ii) email support to assist Users with questions and usage of the PWTP and (iii) live persons who can reached via a toll-free phone number.
  • Quality Assurance: After each election, HAVA Partners will survey users to ensure continuous improvement of the PWTP and deliver to you a report with a compilation of this material.
