Summary
Many Grand Jury reports are complaint driven and often after the fact. The Nevada County Grand Jury (Jury) decided in August of 2008 to conduct an investigation prior to and during the 2008 November General Election. Conducting an election with almost 300 volunteers located in over 50 polling places utilizing over 20 separate ballots is a monumental organizational task. Additionally, the task must be completed in one day.
Realizing the incredible organizational requirements of any election, and especially one of this magnitude, the Jury was concerned that the recent staff changes within the Elections Department and Clerk Recorders Office increased the risk of a poor elections performance.
The Jury looked at the pre-elections training, conducted interviews prior to the election, attended many of the training sessions, observed polling places during the election and debriefed both county staff and volunteers.
The Jury is pleased to report to the citizens of Nevada County that the election ran smoothly, the problems were minor, and that generally the conduct of the election went very well.
The Jury did recommend that the Nevada County Board of Supervisors authorize additional funds for poll worker training.
