My 'extra stuff' checklists for judges and convention organizers. Add your own!
Hi all. I started this off a few years ago for my work as an election judge as a list of "extra stuff" that is nice to have (if possible) when you're working the polling place, but is not given to you by the county. I just developed the list for the convention just now. Feel free to add suggestions, etc!

For Election Judges – Nice Things To Bring to your Polling Place that are Not on the Official List

• Legal size clipboards - If you have a big crowd and run out of voting booths, voters who already have a ballot can be offered the option to stand and vote with a clipboard.
• Your cell phone and your charger
• Program important numbers in your phone: equipment number, voter registration number, your clerks
• A red pen to sign ballots in case they forget to give you one
• White out – if you want to fix your signature rosters as you go
• Extra paper for signs
• A fat black marker for signs
• Tape
• Coffee, if your school has a coffee maker in the teacher’s lounge they’ll let you use
• Something to read / do
• Your lunch
• Extra extension cords (just in case)
• Extra outlet splitters (just in case)
• “I voted” stickers – can get 1000 for $14 with free shipping at http://www.labelvalue.com/
• List of other polling places, if your office does not supply it
• Mapsco / city map to direct lost people to their polling place
• Extra reading glasses – If you have them, they are nice for voters who forget their specs

For Precinct Convention Chairs – Extra Stuff
• Your dinner
• Copy of Texas Delegate Selection Plan
• Copy of Robert’s Rules of Order
• Copies of resolutions
• A small copier, for resolutions, if you have one.
• Nametags
• Large pen for nametags
• How about red paper badges or other ways to credential people? Will it be necessary?
• Copy of party rules
• Large pad and easel
• Large markers

1. For precinct chairs--
BRING YOUR CALCULATOR! For figuring percentage breakdown of delegates per caucus group.
