VCC voting linked to tepid turnout in Chaves County
Chaves County saw about 60.4 percent turnout in the general election, below the state rate and the 2012 presidential level. The switch to Voting Convenience Centers reduced poll workers and costs, with 15 VCCs used across Roswell and other towns. County officials noted early voting was strong, but Election Day turnout lagged, prompting questions about VCC impact.
