Kane County clerk planning demonstrations of new voting machines

The Kane County Clerk's Office will hold public demonstrations of the new Hart Verity Duo voting equipment at a series of events at libraries and community centers, Clerk John Cunningham announced.

The equipment will debut in the March 19, 2024, primary election.

"The new equipment is an upgrade of our current equipment and voters will be familiar with how to use it," Cunningham said in a news release. "Many of the same voter-friendly and easy-to-use functions exist on the new equipment."

Upgraded features in the new equipment include a touch screen instead of the scrolling wheel and a printed paper version of the voting summary.
