•Attend every local BOE meeting. No less than two. Have a phone or in-person meet with others on your task force to go over what to expect/hear.
•After the meeting is concluded, remain, raise your hand and ask question about what you just heard at the meeting. (Ex: What is the chain of custody for seals on absentee ballots? Where do you store them? What security measures do you use? Are you taking funds from any 501c3s?) (Know that answer!)
•Make the commitment that every decision made by the election office will be made in the presence of one or more representatives of your local Election Integrity Team.
