Day. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the State Board of
Elections (SBE) is currently experiencing a shortage of
election judges to staff the polls. Election judges play a

Practitioners : To make our Contact Tracing efforts more efficient, the Commission will ask each attendee to use their
telephone camera and scan a QR code located on counsel tables in
each hearing room. The camera should automatically detect the QR
code, which will take you to a Contact Tracing form. Each
hearing attendee should complete this form and submit it at the
start of the hearing. If you are attending multiple hearings on
the same day in the same hearing location, you only need to
complete the form once at the first hearing for each hearing
site. Please ensure that you hit the ‘submit’ button after
completing the form. The information is captured by individual
and not by law firm so different attorneys from the same law
firm will each need to complete the form.
