Trumbull elections board considers electronic poll book purchase

Thursday, July 23, 2015

WARREN — The Trumbull County elections board is on the verge of following its counterparts in Mahoning County by purchasing electronic poll books for precinct voting.

The Trumbull board met in special session today to discuss the possibility.

“I’m excited about this,” said Kathi Creed, board chairwoman. “These tablets can even tell voters if they’re at the correct precinct.”

Mahoning board members, who have praised the tablets for helping speed up the voting process, purchased 200 electronic poll books for $289,000 but limited their use to several precincts in last May’s primary.
