More Voters, Precincts Require More Machines in County
The Board of Elections requests 10 more voting machines amid new precincts in Norwalk Bellevue and Willard and possible splitting of Bronson and New Haven Township. The 84 current machines serve about 225 to 250 voters each. A rental purchase plan from Automatic Voting Machine Division would cost $27 207 35 after 10 years with $6 517 35 in interest. Commissioners seek options to pay upfront in year two or end the deal early to avoid interest and shipping costs. The contract was referred to Prosecutor Bernard Freeman for review.
