(KNZA)-- Brown County will be getting new election equipment.
The County Commission Monday approved a proposal from Election Systems and Software, of Omaha, Nebraska, for purchase of the new equipment at a total cost of nearly $69,000.
County Clerk/Election Officer Melissa Gormley says the new equipment includes seven new precinct scanners and five touch-screen electronic voting devices that can be used by those with disabilities.
She said the new equipment will replace the county’s existing ten-year-old equipment, and will arrive in time for the August primary election.
Funding will come from the county’s capital improvement fund.
