Election Bootcamp 101 is a new, comprehensive, full-day training designed to guide election officials and staff through every stage of the election cycle with integrity and confidence. Participants will explore the importance of election integrity, office organization, key tools and manuals, and use of the SOS TEMP site. The course covers voter registration best practices, Online Voter Registration, pre-election preparation, absentee voting, team training, and the practical steps required to hold an election—including paperwork, polling place setup, and understanding the roles of election workers and observers. The day concludes with post-election responsibilities, clarification of primary versus general elections, and an interactive Q&A session, ensuring attendees leave with practical tools and a clear understanding of their responsibilities.

Certification: This new class is currently under review for certification qualifications.
