Training Opportunities
To assure that appropriate persons charged with assisting voters and administering elections are properly prepared, various workshops are offered throughout the year. The workshops are geared to Electoral Board members, Officers of Election, and Registrars.
Training is offered through ELECT, VEBA, Districts, and individual localities. This page contains training information that VEBA has received. To have your training information presented on the website, send the information via our Contact Page. Allow a turn-around time of two working days.
