The Starke County Election Board is meeting this morning. As the county continues to prepare for future elections, upgrades to its voting machines may be considered. Vendor MicroVote is proposing to rebuild the machines for a total cost of about $66,000.
The work would include the replacement of screens, processors, and other internal components. That, in turn, would allow for software upgrades, which MicroVote representatives say would make the county’s voting system more secure.
The company has proposed doing the work in 2019, to have the machines ready for the 2020 presidential election. MicroVote first brought the proposal to the county commissioners last week.
This morning’s Starke County Election Board meeting starts at 10:00 at the Starke County Courthouse Second Floor Meeting Room.
