Township officials plan to use electronic poll books at all six community voting locations during the May 4 election. Clerk Jean Wahlfield said Alpine is following in the footsteps of Walker, which in November became the first West Michigan municipality to switch completely to the technology.
E-Poll Books allow election staffers to identify voters and their correct polling locations by scanning bar codes on the backs of their driver's licenses instead of leafing through bulky three-ring binders.
While the technology has been praised as a time-saver, Wahlfield said polling locations will be staffed with the usual number of workers. (Story by Aaron Ogg, Grand Rapids Press)
