2. Bipartisan Policy Center Line Length Data Collection
BPC is working in partnership with Professor Charles Stewart at MIT.
Data collection being conducted throughout the country to help improve the experience of voters. This data will help to diagnose the causes of long lines at the polls, predict where they may happen in advance of elections, and develop tools to allow election officials to swiftly allocate resources to the precincts most in need.

3. Bipartisan Policy Center Line Length Data Collection
Why Worry About Long Lines?
Voter inconvenience and cost
Discouragement from voting
Lines may be a sign that something has gone wrong:
Lacking necessary resources such as a sufficient number of trained poll workers
Unanticipated events such as a malfunctioning machine, power outage, ballot shortage, etc.

4. Bipartisan Policy Center Line length Data Collection
If you agree to participate you will be asked to record the number of people who are waiting in line, waiting to check in to vote.
You will be asked to provide one number each hour, beginning at 6 am and ending at 8 pm.
For example, if you have 2 lines in your polling place, A-M and N-Z and at 7 am you have 3 people waiting in the first line and 2 in the second you would record 5 as your number for that hour.

5. CVRS Password Security
Password rules:
At least 8 characters

6. Password Security
After the election we are moving to two-factor authentication. We will need your town-provided address.
We will also need your address to implement comprehensive security training for all local election officials-registrars, deputy registrars, assistant registrars, town clerks, assistant town clerks – anyone who has access to CVRS. We will be utilizing Security Mentor- the same online training classes that the State requires of all its employees.
