§ 14213 Poll Opening Announcement

This law says election officials have to loudly announce that voting is open before they start taking any ballots.

Key Takeaways

•The board must make a spoken announcement that the polls are open.
•The announcement has to happen before any ballots are received.
•The announcement must be made at the place where voting is taking place.

Example

At a neighborhood school used as a voting site, the precinct board leader steps up to the microphone and says, "The polls are now open," before any voters hand in their ballots.

Because the law requires the announcement first, the board must say those words out loud before any votes are collected, letting everyone know voting has officially started.
