Receiving Center Clerks

Election Day workers appointed to receive ballots from polling places. After polls close on election night, the chief inspector of each polling place secures the voted ballots in the red supply bag. The chief inspector and one clerk take the red bag to a receiving center (a central area near several polling places) and verify delivery with the receiving center clerk. The receiving center clerk confirms delivery by completing a check list. Receiving Center Clerks are deputized to uphold the laws by taking the oath from Article 20, Sec. 3a, of the California Constitution.

Riders

Election Day workers appointed to take the red supply bag from the receiving centers to the Civic Center. After Receiving Center Clerks confirm delivery of the red supply bag from chief inspectors, the Riders complete a checklist confirming receipt of the bag from the Receiving Center Clerks. The bag is transported back to the Civic Center by one rider and one deputy sheriff. At the Civic Center, Elections Department staff complete a checklist confirming receipt of the bag. Riders are deputized to uphold the laws by taking the oath from Article 20, Sec. 3a, of the California Constitution.
