Post Election Electronic Poll Book (EPB) Tasks: Under the terms of the EPB user agreement all EPB data/files must be deleted from all laptops and USB memory sticks 7 days following the final canvas and certification of the election.  The August 3 primary was certified on August 23.  Thus, all EPB data/files must be deleted on August 30.  If you did not post Voter History on the night of the election, you must post history prior to deleting the files.  Instructions for uploading voter history from the Electronic Poll Book can be found by clicking on the following link and going to page 38 of the instructions: http://www.michigan.gov/documents/sos/EPB_Instructions_July2010_326964_7.pdf

It is important that all EPB data on laptops and USB memory sticks be deleted before they are stored away.  If you plan to use the laptops for EPB training purposes, be sure to delete all EPB data from them prior to setting up the EPB for the November election.  For instructions on uninstalling the EPB software click on the following link and go to page 40 of the instructions:  http://www.michigan.gov/documents/sos/EPB_Instructions_July2010_326964_7.pdf
