Local meetings planned after reported shortfall in voting machines
Summary
A committee member said local jurisdictions typically receive two machines but received none in recent elections, forcing reliance on paper ballots; meetings are planned to address whether the county will supply machines and how to handle technical support.
A committee member said local jurisdictions normally receive two voting machines but that in recent years they received none, leading to the use of paper ballots during primaries because there were not enough machines. The speaker framed the shortfall as an operational problem that needs local coordination.
The member said meetings are scheduled in the next couple of weeks to discuss how the county will provide machines and what technical support will be required, noting that older machines offered by the county will likely require technicians to keep them operational. No formal motions or votes on this matter were recorded in the transcript.
