Action Alert! New Voting Machices

The Monroe County Board of Elections has until February 8th to to choose whether to use either a paper ballot based ballot marker and scanner system, or a direct recording electronic (DRE) voting system. New York's lever voting machines are being replaced with an electronic voting system.

We want an electronic ballot marking machine that allows people with disabilities to vote independently and marks a paper ballot that can be reviewed and hand counted.

Thursday, January 31, 2008, the Monroe County Board of Elections will be hosting a preview of voting machines at the Medley Centre Mall, located at 285 Medley Centre Parkway, in Irondequoit.
