Nov 2023. The Election Board is reconsidering the decision from a previous board to use paper ballots as opposed to voting machines. The process used in 2019 to support the decision for paper ballots served as an excellent example of effective decision-making.

Statutes were reviewed, requirements were identified, numerous public meetings were held, options were presented along with their respective pros and cons, and decision criteria were developed and used to rate and rank the options. Paper Ballots were the more secure and less expensive option.
