Election organizers develop protocols for potential power outages
SUMMARY: On the upcoming election day, organizers emphasize the importance of electricity for a smooth voting process. Contingency plans are in place to address potential power outages, with utility companies prioritizing voting centers. Poll workers are trained to contact specific utility personnel for quick response to any issues. Electronic voting increases awareness of power usage, and in some areas, fire trucks equipped with generators can assist if outages occur. Voting equipment has battery backups to maintain functionality during outages. Organizers are also coordinating with the National Weather Service to mitigate the effects of any adverse weather on election day.
Voters will fill voting centers one week from now on election day. They’ll need electricity to make sure things go off without a hitch.
