9. Old Business

A. Election Commission - Election Night Reporting Update

Joe Sobecki, Executive Director of the Election Commission, presented an update on the

new Election Night Reporting tool, as attached hereto. He noted that, as requested, an

asterisk was added to indicate multi-county races. Member Elliott suggested adding an

explanation saying the multi-county race results reflects DuPage County only.

Chairman Wiley informed the committee that a landing page was added by IT to allow

website visitors the option to select the County's main website or the election results

website. This page will be activated on election night.

Chairman Wiley then said he was surprised at the lack of an FAQ on the election results

website. Mr. Sobecki responded there is an "Overview" section that includes instructions

on using the site. Don Carlsen, CIO, suggested changing it to say FAQ. The committee

agreed.

Member Anderson asked if a link to the election results website could be added to the

County's home page ahead of the election. Mr. Sobecki said a press release was sent out

with the new link and information about the new tool. He said there are several areas of

the main site that link to the new website as well. He added that another press release

will be sent out a week before the election to get the link out to the public.

Mr. Sobecki then reviewed the contingency plans, should anything happen with the

website on election night.

Chairman Wiley expressed concern about constituents who may use a search engine,

such as Google, to find the election results and end up on the County's main website

instead. Mr. Carlsen suggested the possibility of taking out a Google Ad to assist people

in reaching the correct website. Staff will look into the cost.

Chairman Wiley then asked if it would be possible to add a section where voters can

check their status, polling place, sample ballot, etc. Mr. Sobecki said that information

can be added.

Mr. Sobecki finished by saying the website - www.dupageresults.com - is live and

accessible.

               RESULT:                HAND OUT

10. New Business
