BALLOT CLERK: This is a paid position: Email Teresa Shed- teresa.shed@co.lee.tx.us
This entails counting the mail-in ballots and the in person ballots ( which are on a thumb drive) for a specific election. It is half Democrats and a half Republicans that work together to count the votes in a systematic process. This is done on election day and a few days later, until all votes are counted and the voting machines are closed. The total commitment is about 3-4 days, depending on how many ballot clerks there are and the voter turnout in that election. The SOS chooses an item that needs to be recounted by hand, which needs to match the electronic count.
REGISTERING NEW VOTERS: (VDR) You need to take a test to become certified, here is a link to the training manual for the test: VDR Training Manual
What is involved is you can register someone to vote in person, they fill out the form with you and you are responsible to take it to the Lee County Elections Admin (Teresa Shed) for processing.
