Voters learn how to use new machine
NORWICH – Chenango County voters may learn how to use the new Dominion voting machines this week at a mock election being held in the lobby of the County Office Building.
Board of Elections Republican Commission Harriet Jenkins said about 60 people tried their hand at the machine Monday. The voting machines will be available for use from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. through Thursday. Voters will mark a paper ballot which is then fed into a scanning device.
Demonstrations will also be offered throughout the summer in several locations throughout the county and at the Chenango County Fair in August.
Chenango County will be one of 45 counties participating in a test of the Dominion machine during the primaries in September.
The Chenango County Board of Supervisors opposes the federal government’s Help America Vote Act that required states to switch from traditional lever operating machines in favor of handicapped accessible machines. The board formalized its stance by passing a resolution in June and forwarding it along to several regional state respresentatives.
New York State has yet to certify a new machine, however Jenkins and Democratic Commissioner Carol Franklin say they expect the process to be completed by year’s end.
