New Voting Equipment with Enhanced Security Features

The Office of Elections has begun receiving new voting equipment as part of a comprehensive replacement of the county's decade-old voting equipment. The new equipment has increased speed in all its functions and has added security features. Additionally, because our equipment vendors have not changed, the experience of the voter will remain unchanged.
