Tazewell County voter rolls to be electronic in future elections

[RandySF]

PEKIN, Ill. – New technology will be coming to polling locations in Tazewell County.

Clerk John Ackerman announced on Wednesday that the county has purchased electronic poll books to replace paper versions at polling locations, starting with next year’s primary elections.

Poll books contain voter information such as precinct location and their signature on file, and are used to verify a voter before they go to the voting booth.

Ackerman says at least two machines will be featured at each location. A person arriving at a polling location will sign in on an electronic tablet, and the election judge will look up the relevant information. A paper receipt will then print, and the voter is given their paper ballot to vote.

Many people had to give up and go home
