Pitt County Board of Election to introduce new voting system to cut costs, boost access
GREENVILLE, N.C. (WNCT) — The Pitt County Board of Elections is set to upgrade how the county votes with a new voting machine.
The Express Vote universal voting system improves the software for all ballot types, including hearing and visually impaired ballots.
The new voting machine will help save some money, with cheaper cardstock being used. Express Vote won't change how people cast their ballot.
The county approved an order of 50 machines for the 40 precincts. The total cost of the new machines is $195,000.
Express Vote machine will go through a simulation test and will need the state approval before being officially implemented.
