Try a new voting machine

The Franklin County Board of Elections will displaying & demonstrating their new voting equipment at the library on Tuesday, February 12, from 11 am-1 pm & 6-8 pm.

The new hybrid voting system will be used for the first time during the Primary Election on Tuesday, May 7, 2019.

The new system allows you to cast a paper ballot by one of two methods:

  1. On a touchscreen ballot marker or
  2. Traditional “fill in the oval” paper ballot.

After completion of one of these processes, voters will insert their paper ballot in a ballot counting device before leaving the voting location.

The Board of Elections will be taking the new voting machines throughout the county to libraries, festivals, community events, as well as government & civic meetings to educate registered voters on how the system works.

The most recent voting system served county voters for more than 12 years. The Board of Elections spent the last two years vetting the latest voting systems on the market.
