(KMZA)--Nemaha County will be getting new election equipment.
County Clerk/Election Officer Mary Kay Schultejans presented the County Commission Monday with a quote from Election Systems and Software for the new equipment in the amount of just over $76,000.
The Commission agreed to allow Schultejans to spend up to $80,000 for the new equipment and all necessary accessories.
Schultejans says each of the eight polling locations will be getting a new voting machine. In addition, each of the polling locations will be getting a machine specifically designed for those with disabilities along with the county clerk’s office for advance voting.
She said the machines are similar to what is being used now, just an upgrade.
The county’s current election equipment was purchased in 2005.
Schultejans says new machines will be in place for use during the August primary.
