An email from my election judge

You might get a kick out of this. I'm going to work the election in a few weeks, but I have a few things to take care of before I do. 

Here's the content of an email I received from the person - the election judge - I will work under.


Hi everyone,

Not everyone is confirmed yet, but wanted to go ahead and send out our election information.

New Late Policy for Training Classes
Election Workers must arrive on time to training. The Whole Group instructor will close the doors once the class has begun to respect the time and attention of those already in attendance. After the doors have been closed, Election Workers will not be permitted to enter. Those unable to attend class due to tardiness can reschedule their training online or call 713-755-1617, Option 04 to speak with a trainer.

Walk-In Policy
Due to the fact this election requires all Election Workers be trained, we will be unable to accept walk-ins. You will need to be on the sign-in roster or show proof of registration at the door if your name is not found on the roster. Anyone trying to attend as a walk-in will be directed to call 713-755-1617, Option04 to schedule a class at a later time.
