The presentation will also be featured on the Alameda County Registrar of Voters <br />website, allowing any and all visitors to the site to enjoy a brief explanation of Ranked <br />Choice Voting at their convenience. The presentation can also be copied onto CDs, <br />which the Registrar and the three RCV cities will distribute to voters and community <br />groups, and can be featured on cable-access channels and as visual accompaniment to <br />news reports about the shift to Ranked Choice Voting in Alameda County. <br />A computer will also be set up in the lobby of the Registrar of Voters office to encourage <br />visitors to view the Flash Media Presentation to educate themselves on the concepts of <br />Ranked Choice Voting. Other County agencies, and agencies in the three RCV cities, <br />have agreed to make the Presentation available in a similar way. <br />Similar Flash Media Presentations have been used in San Francisco to help educate <br />voters there about Ranked Choice Voting. Alameda County staff is already working <br />with counterparts in San Francisco to gather their ideas on the components of a Flash <br />Media Presentation that are essential to effectively educating voters. <br />The Registrar of Voters already has a long list of community contacts that can be <br />tapped in arranging venues and gatherings for voter education presentations, and for <br />viewings of the Flash Media Presentation. These include contacts and community <br />groups in non-English-speaking communities, as well as at high schools and colleges <br />where young voters routinely provided voter education presentations by staff from the <br />Registrar of Voters. <br />7. Short Video on Ranked Choice Voting <br />The Alameda County Registrar of Voters will develop a short video to walk voters <br />through the voting process using Ranked Choice Voting. The video will explain the <br />main concepts of Ranked Choice Voting, particularly how voters can mark their ballots <br />correctly, and will compliment to the many other voter-education materials being <br />produced to help with the RCV rollout in November 2010. <br />Staff in the Registrar of Voters office has ample experience in producing voter- <br />education videos. Over the past three years, the ROV staff has produced several <br />videos to help with poll worker training, and to explain to voters how to use the new <br />optical scan voting system that Alameda County brought online in 2006. <br />The Registrar of Voters office has produced the videos both with the help of outside <br />video producers, and a video crew from the Alameda County District Attorney's Office. <br />The DA's office video crew has been approached about the Ranked Choice Voting <br />project and has expressed enthusiasm about participating. In addition, the City of <br />Oakland's cable-access television station, KTOP-TV, has also been approached and <br />has expressed interest in helping to produce the video in their city-owned television <br />studio. <br />Page ~ 9 <br />
