Kewaunee County purchases new voting machines

Kewaunee County election results will be tabulated with lightning speed in the future thanks to the purchase of 15 new voting machines. All but one of those will have the costs split roughly 50-50 between the county and the municipality where they will be employed on election days. Clerk Jamie Annoye says each device can essentially do as much as the two electronic voting machines that are used at polling sites today. There is no touch screen capability, but each of the new units is handicap accessible and can count votes. Annoye states that given the sizable number of mail-in ballots, that is a particularly important capability right now.

 


The machines are manufactured by ImageCast Evolution and were part of a bulk purchase made by several counties in the state. The total cost was $122,745, with the county responsible for $54,383. Each municipality is responsible for maintenance on its respective unit.
