Secretary of State
"Election Email" System" ? Update:Beginning
on Tuesday, December 9, 2008,
the "Election Email" system established by the Bureau earlier this year will
be the only electronic communications system that will be used to distribute
Bureau communications including all "Election News" and "News You Can Use"
issues, special announcements and surveys.
With
this change, electronic communications distributed by the Bureau will no
longer be forwarded to personal email addresses or QVF email accounts (Outlook
Express).
When
the "Election Email" system was launched in late August, an email account was
established for every county, city and township in the state at no cost to the
jurisdiction. Accounts were also established for villages that conduct their
own elections. If you have not yet accessed your account, we would urge you
to do so as soon as possible. You can conveniently access your account from
any computer that has Internet service. As the regular use of the
account will be essential to staying informed on election related news and
developments, it is very important that you access your account on a frequent
basis.
If
you need assistance with accessing or using your "Election Email" account,
please contact the QVF Help Desk at 1-800-310-5697.
Reminder -
November 4 General Election Voter History Deadline:The deadline to
enter voter history for the November 4 general election is Friday, December
19. The information presented in the Voter Turnout Report is based on a
snapshot of the voter history entered prior to the 45th day
following the election. Therefore, while voter history entered after December
19 will still be reflected in the individual voter records and reports
produced through the Custom Voter List module, it will not be reflected
in the QVF Voter Turnout Report, which is the "official" statistical record
for your jurisdiction.
If you are the clerk of a
jurisdiction that does not have direct access to the QVF, it is recommended
that you work with your county clerk to ensure that this task is completed by
the above deadline.
