EPB Practice & Education Day and Stress Test Reminder

On Tuesday, October 8, QVF Help Desk staff will provide EPB webinar instruction and perform a stress test of the system. Staff will dedicate the day to answering your questions as you practice and prepare your EPB for Election Day. The EPB is now part of QVF Refresh and includes some exciting new features. Join us to learn about all of the new features as well as a general review of the system. 

The agenda for the day includes:

• QVF Refresh EPB Features and Discussion Webinar
• QVF Refresh EPB – Preparing for 2020 Webinar
• EPB Practice Scenarios
• EPB Download Stress Test for all jurisdictions
• Lots of staff available to answer your EPB specific questions

View the full agenda in the eLearning Center.

We need you to assist us in performing a stress test at 1 p.m. No registration is necessary for the stress test; simply log into QVF Refresh at 1 p.m. and download your November 2019 or November 2018 election EPB files. Developers will be monitoring the activity during this time, so you don't need to call or email the Help Desk to provide feedback about your QVF use. We need you to participate in this stress test so that we can help ensure QVF can handle the high traffic that will occur after 4 p.m. the day before Election Day.

To participate in a webinar, you must sign up to get the login information. Seating is limited. To sign up, login to the eLearning Center and select your preferred webinar(s). Consider hosting an EPB Practice Day event by inviting your fellow clerks and/or staff to view the webinar as group to allow for more attendees on the line and encourage collaborative learning.
