Dickinson County To Purchase New Voting Machines

November 22, 2014

(Spirit Lake)– Dickinson county will be getting some new voting machines through HAVA, or the “Help America Vote Act”.

The board of supervisors Tuesday signed off on a proposal to purchase one touch-screen voting machine for each precinct in the county at a total cost of roughly 120-thousand dollars. 117,300-dollars of that will be covered through a HAVA Grant that’s been awarded to the county.

County Auditor Nancy Reiman says the goal is to eventually switch over entirely to the new system.
