4 Additional Instructions from Secretary of State

 The State Election Board requires every county election superintendent to upload unofficial
election results to the ENR website at least three times on Election Night, and in any event in
which you have one-third, two-thirds, and all precincts reporting.
 You should upload your first export file as soon as you have results. There is no need to delay
uploading absentee totals when you have them; if you have finished counting your absentee-
by-mail ballots and the memory card is ready for uploading into the EMS Server, then this should
be your first export file upload on Election Night.
 If you have a technician who will be assisting you with the upload of memory cards on Election
Night, please remind the technician of this very important requirement. To help remind you and
your technician, you may consider posting a note on your EMS server.
 Uploading export files to the ENR website takes priority over any other postings. Until you are
able to view and confirm your final results on the Secretary of State’s election results website,
your reporting requirement under SEB Rule 183-1-12-.05(5)(d) is not complete.
 If you experience problems uploading the export file to ENR, then contact your liaison: Breanna
@ 470-312-2756; Ameika @ 470-312-2751; Leigh @ 470-312-2741; or Dennis @ 470-312-
2740
 If your county has uploaded ALL memory cards from their Election Day location, their absentee-
by-mail vote centers, and their advance-in-person vote centers, and there is a precinct with no
votes collected from one of those categories, your county will still show yellow.
 In this case, send a copy of the Unofficial Election Summary Report showing that all precincts
have reported to your liaison: Breanna @ 470-312-2756; Ameika @ 470-312-2751; Leigh @
470-312-2741; or Dennis @ 470-312-2740. Please only fax to these numbers or email a copy
to your liaison.
