Brown County Courthouse
(KNZA)--Brown County will be getting new election equipment.
The Brown County Commission on a 2-1 vote Monday approved a quote from Omaha-based Election Systems and Software in the amount of $67,475 for the equipment, which includes eight ballot scanning devices and two electronic polls books.
Commissioner Bill Pollock cast the dissenting vote, saying he feels hand-counting ballots is the best way to go.
County Clerk Nikki Lee says the current machines were purchased in 2016 and the software is outdated.
Half the cost of the new equipment will be paid this year, and the remainder next year.
