Douglas County will seek a $677,120 contract approval to replace aging election gear with a new hardware and software system. The plan covers 80 ballot-reading scanners and related items to keep paper ballots, counted by scanners in 77 precincts, with an Aug 7 primary target. Adkins was the lowest bidder, offering about $50,000 yearly for licenses and support. Money comes from the capital reserve fund, and the project aims to improve mobility and accessibility for visually impaired voters.
