13.Notes on anything unusual or problematic, or that would be useful to improve the process, or that might be of value to the Secretary of State or other elections officials:
We provided feedback to the vendor and suggested printing labels for each audit board on a new page as well as generating an individual retrieval list for each audit board. We also think it would be beneficial to provide a live demo during the training session to walk thru the steps using the Arlo software to have a better understanding of the process . We would as encourage counties to conduct “test” audits in Arlo to gain additional experience in preparation for the official audit.
