Communication, be it with the public, the media or the army of permanent and temporary election workers, is one of the most critical components of a chief election official’s job.

The need to quickly and effectively communicate with poll workers got Cabell County, West Virginia Clerk Scott Caserta to thinking, and brainstorming, with his staff.
Enter the Pollworker Emergency Notification System (PENS) which allows election officials to send messages and notifications to poll workers in real time.
