The Shelby County Commission rejected a resolution to purchase voting machines for a second time, sending a resounding message to the Election Commission that they still favor hand-marked paper ballots, not ballot marking devices.
“I can understand their position tonight,” Election Commission Chairman Brent Taylor said. “Unfortunately, (the County Commission) is not charged with the responsibility of conducting elections. The Shelby County Election Commission is by statute charged with conducting elections by statute and we have said in order to conduct the elections in a free, fair, honest, open way we need these machines and it is the County Commission’s responsibility to fund them.”
County Administrative Director Renee Obermueller explained more about the five-year agreement.
The cost of the support and service agreement is $86,000 for software and $26,000 for hardware, but payments will be made at $17,000 and $5,000 annually for the five-year term.
