Election Day Incident Report

An Election Day Incident Report is a document used by poll workers or election officials to record any issues or irregularities that occur at a polling place on Election Day. This could include problems with voting equipment, long lines, voter intimidation, or other disruptions to the voting process. The report typically includes details such as the time and location of the incident, a description of what happened, and any actions taken to resolve the issue. Poll workers are trained to fill out these reports as soon as an incident occurs, in order to create a clear record of any problems that arise. Election Day Incident Reports are an important tool for identifying and addressing issues that may impact the integrity or accessibility of an election. They can also be used to improve poll worker training and develop contingency plans for future elections. After the election, incident reports are typically reviewed by election officials and may be made available to the public as part of efforts to promote transparency and accountability in the electoral process.
