With the start of early voting, many are heading to the polls to cast their ballot ahead of the Nov. 8 general election. 

Colorado poll workers recently underwent active shooter training after several high-profile mass shooting incidents. Officials in Orange County, however, say there are no trumped-up security concerns.

“The Secretary of State has not suggested to us that we be concerned on that level," said Bill Cowles, Orange County Supervisor of Elections. He said poll workers received no special safety training this year. “I don’t think it goes to that level where we need to. I think we have the procedures in play."

The Orange County Supervisor of Elections said that procedures, like having poll deputies, deputized by the Orange County sheriff, maintain order at polling locations, help to ensure elections run smoothly and safely.

If things get unruly, inside or outside the polling location, poll deputies, or poll clerks, call law enforcement.

“On Election Day, we’ll have some visibility at 28 of the polling places," said Sheriff Jerry Demings. “The reason why we have law enforcement visibility is based upon sometimes the information that we receive, traffic around the locations, etc. Not specifically because of the tone of the current election cycle itself.”

However, Demings said there will be no amped up patrols this election season.

“It’s purely in terms of keeping the peace, to make certain that the egress and ingress is safe for everyone that is coming," he added.

While Orlando Police Department said they do not get involved with the election process or discuss security measures, if called to one of the polls, they will respond.

What’s more, Cowles said more supervision at polling sites increases safety -- and ensures a fair election.

“There’s at least six, seven to eight poll workers in the polling place. This is not a process where one person is in there and can be on their own," he said. “The key thing is there’s checks and balances through the process to protect their vote, to guarantee that their vote will count.”
