Adams County polls to test electronic poll books
QUINCY — Some voters in western Illinois may get to use new technology on Tuesday.
Four polling places in Quincy will be testing out electronic poll books during the state’s primary election. That means that voters will sign in on an electronic pad instead of paper.
The Quincy Herald-Whig reports the four polling places with the electronic books include Salem Evangelical Church and Quincy University.
Adams County Clerk Georgia Volm says the electronic system is optional for voters and they can still use the paper poll books if they want.
However, it may be good practice.
Volm says the electronic system could be implemented countywide for the November election.
She says the electronic poll books will help use less paper and cut some costs.
