Board approves $127,550 for electronic poll books after registrar’s request
Summary
The board approved a $127,550 appropriation to purchase 55 electronic poll pads, protective cases, printers and training after the registrar reported repeated equipment failures; purchase was authorized under a Code of Virginia exemption for election materials.
Mister Wagner (county administration) presented a written request from the general registrar asking the board to approve $127,550 from the general fund to buy electronic poll books, protective cases, printers and training for election staff. The request cited failing equipment and noted the purchasing department authorized the procurement under an exemption in the Code of Virginia for election materials.
Wagner told the board the project had been on the capital improvements plan for future years but equipment failures accelerated the need. The motion to approve the appropriation passed 6-0; training on the new equipment was scheduled for Feb. 5. "She is requesting on behalf of the electoral board an additional $127,550, from the general fund to purchase electronic poll books to use by the elections office," Wagner said.
