Englewood council to test new digital voting system at July 14 meeting
Summary
Council will run a 30-minute digital voting demonstration and test meeting at the start of its July 14 session; staff will walk members through the new screens and procedures.
Englewood City announced that the city council will receive a digital voting demonstration at the start of its July 14 meeting and that staff expect the training to take about 30 minutes.
Deputy City Clerk Andrina Prado said staff had tested the system and expected the demonstration would take roughly 30 minutes. The demonstration will be first on the study-session agenda; staff plan to have council sit at the dais and run a test meeting so members can see the new screens and ask questions.
Council members asked to confirm timing; Mayor (name not specified) and City Manager Sean Lewis discussed starting the meeting at 5:30 p.m. so the training precedes an affordable housing goal-setting workshop. No formal action was taken at the July 2 mayor–manager meeting to adopt the system; the July 14 session is described as a staff-led orientation and test.
The training is intended to make council members comfortable with the new process before it is used in an official meeting. Staff said they have scheduled additional follow-up meetings with the facilitator and will confirm timing before July 14.
