Behind every election are people behind-the-scenes working to make sure every vote truly counts. The San Joaquin ROV warehouse is where the central count will happen on Tuesday night. There's six receiving centers throughout the county and their staff was trained so everyone's on the same page in two days.
"As a born and raised San Joaquin County resident, I'm honored to be able to serve our county and to be able to be the leader of what we have going on here in our elections," Olivia Hale, San Joaquin County registrar of voters, said. "And these last hours are about articulating every plan that we've been putting forward for the last several months. We plan for an election a year out in many cases, and there's a lot of prep work that goes into it."
"We do everything in our office to make sure every ballot is tabulated and counted accurately," Hale said. "And so trusting that process and understanding election administration is one piece. Politics are a different piece. And our job as election administrators is to ensure that there's fair, secure, accessible elections. So when you participate in our elections, you're entrusting your vote to our office, and we're making sure that it's tabulated correctly and that your voice is heard."
Then, ahead of election time, they train support staff for election night, including Stocktonian Patricia Barrett, who's been working at the polls off-and-on for the past four decades. This year, she's the receiving center manager at the Christian Life building, which will also act as a supply hub in the morning starting at 6 am on Tuesday.
For this primary in particular, with more than 60 candidates running for California governor, Barrett said she's skeptical and worried about it–along with the local level.
Nonetheless, Barrett said she's seen this county work diligently with transparency and securely in tabulating the votes.
Hale said there will be a sheriff's escort showing up on Tuesday. Then, the ballots will be boxed up Tuesday night and head back downtown, finishing the process until they're done with certification.
Hale said the supplies come back from polling places on election night to the receiving centers. Then, they'll go on their box trucks to the warehouse, where the tabulation occurs for all of the polling place precinct ballots, separating out provisional and voting-by-mail returns
"Even though there are people that may believe that your voice doesn't matter, it does, it matters at the state level, but it also matters at the local level, and your engagement is important," Hale said.
