Recently-Completed Training

Dallas County Elections Department Required Training

The Dallas County Elections Department (DCED) is requiring that all Election Workers attend their in-person training for the November 7th General Election. Even if you have been a long-serving Elections Judge (Presiding or Alternate), you are required to attend this year to learn about the recent changes that have been made in both the equipment and their procedures. They have both 3-hour classes as well as 5-hour classes. If you are an Election Judge, we recommend taking the 5-hour class. This year, DCED will pay you for attending training. All in-person training will be conducted in DCED's new training facility at 1460 Round Table Dr., Dallas, TX 75247 (the recently acquired and remodeled building immediately west of the DCED headquarters building.)

If you are a Presiding Judge or Alternate Judge and have received your Voting Center assignment, please call DCED Training to schedule your in-person training. Be sure to have your Voting Center Number when you call. Call (214) 819-6332.

Even if you have taken the optional Dallas County Republican Party (DCRP) training, you still must take the Dallas County Elections Department (DCED).

The optional training for Election Works (judges and clerks) that we have provided in this election cycle was recommended but optional. We covered the things that DCED doesn't cover in their class. While Poll Watcher and Election Integrity training will continue right up to the election, we will NOT be scheduling our optional Election Worker classes after October 1st so we don't conflict scheduled dates with the required DCED training.

By Patti Clapp and Susan Cumby - Saturday, October 1, 2022, 12:00 pm to 2:30 pm

We also highly recommend the Kristen Bickham presentation on poll watcher training immediately following this great class.  Paid election workers not only are in the polling location from 6 am setup until 9 pm-close, they are our eyes and ears watching for election fraud!
