Training: how to issue ballots, handle spoiled ballots and process question ballots
The clerk told ballot issuers to keep ballots attached to their stub until handing them to a voter and to avoid ripping off multiple ballots in advance. If a voter spoils a ballot, issuers should "rip up the spoil ballot, and then you're going to, put your initials and mark that it was spoiled," she said, and account for spoiled ballots in the final ballot statement.

On question ballots, she explained who must use them (names not on the register, lack of acceptable ID, residence changes or challenges) and how to fill the question-ballot envelope and log the sequence and ballot types issued (FNSB for borough, COF for City of Fairbanks). She also reiterated youth-worker limits: under-18 workers may assist but may not sign oaths or act as full election officials.
