monitoring polling stations to ensure ballots are long form - True - One of the responsibilities of the election official is to provide ballots (device used to cast votes);

approving ballots for voters to use - False - The State has the authority to regulate the approval of the ballots;

monitoring polls to ensure everything is legal - True - They are responsible for the proper and orderly voting at polling stations;

The following are the roles of election officials
monitoring polling stations to ensure ballots are long form
monitoring polls to ensure everything is legal

campaigns and ballots are assigned to a different person
officials who report to specific parties are not part of the electoral committee
