How would you maintain the confidentiality and security of the information you work with?
What would your definition of good service be?
How would you organize your workload?
As Clerk, how will you ensure county wide voter access?
Protecting sensitive information is a top priority. There are many laws and regulations in place to ensure the proper handling of information and I pledge to follow those laws and regulations.
Good service is defined as being professional and courteous to every person. Good service should be respectful and also knowledgeable, in a way that meets the needs of the person being served. Currently, in my job in Voter's Registration, I strive to serve each person, providing them with the information they need, efficiently and with a kind, patient demeanor.
Having clear priorities and remaining focused and organized around important dates deadlines will be a key to helping me organize my workload.
Since I currently work in Voter's Registration, equal voter access is so important to me! We need to ensure our vote centers are strategically placed to ensure all voters have convenient access that is along a public transportation route (when available). We also need to communicate clearly and make sure all locations are visible with effective signage.
We could also utilize our mobile unit during the election for maximum effectiveness, and use it in non election months to bring awareness to voter registration!
During the Election, we need to ensure all our poll workers receive sufficient training and are given the resources they need to work the polling locations properly.
