All other ballots are counted. There are no plans to replace the punch card system at this time. Countywide replacement of voting equipment is not an overnight effort. Other considerations that impact the cost include storage space, trucks to deliver, technicians to maintain, parts inventory to maintain, and voter awareness. All of these peripheral considerations have been addressed with the existing punch card system which has been in use for many years.
Confidence is high as to the reliability and accuracy of the punch card system.
While it will no doubt be replaced one day, that day will probably not be in the near future. Try our Services Guide or use Search .
