For example, staff with voting station management roles will require additional training content to those guarding ballot boxes. These may be greater when recruited staff have little experience or a low basic skill base. Using this approach, the basic staff training session can be augmented by modules appropriate to staff requiring broader or higher skill levels. Length of training sessions can be tailored to specific categories which the staff may need to know. Structuring training content in a similar way to that which information is organised in staff manuals will aid understanding.
Modules deal with discrete, though inter-related, skills or information sets.
These modules may vary in amount of content, from five to ten minutes of presentation time to up to an hour. Specific procedural environments will have additional modular requirements required by voting procedures, for issues such as voting day registration and use of voting computers. Senior Voting Station Staff Training content for staff with management roles in voting stations, e.g., voting station managers and their assistants or deputies and roving officials or supervisors, needs to be augmented to cover their additional specific duties and management roles. Additional training in these management issues will enhance the efficient operations of voting stations. Where procedures and content of training for officials staffing special voting facilities are significantly different from those for other polling staff, totally separate training sessions will be more effective.
