Santa Ana , CA February 1, 2008 – The Registrar of Voters will host a large poll worker practice session under a tent in our parking lot at Grand and McFadden Avenues in Santa Ana on Saturday, February 2nd.  Hundreds of poll workers are expected to attend this hands-on session where they can receive additional instruction prior to Election Day.

 

"Studies show that hands-on training is one of the biggest factors in poll worker success," said Neal Kelley, Registrar of Voters.  "Other sessions earlier in the week have had an overwhelming response from our dedicated poll workers," he continued.

 

The open house session will run from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m.  Poll workers are invited to come anytime during these hours but we expect the morning to be the busiest time.
