of the absentee ballots. Once processing begins, AVCB workers are
sequestered in City Hall until the last ballot has been processed.
After all ballots are processed, AVCB workers must close out the AVCB,
secure ballots, complete paperwork, and deliver all to the Clerk's
office. This is typically done by 10 pm.
