Electronic pollbooks
on laptops will be used in the polling
places. The laptop pollbooks were used for the first time at
the polls for the April 5, 2011 election. Instead of using preprinted
application books, election judges checked in voters on the laptops,
printed labels and affixed to blank applications for ballot before having the
voters sign the applications. Please contact us with your feedback - we want to know how it
went! |

Next election
will be the General Primary Election, March 20, 2012. |
