Steuben County's clerk office received council approval to purchase poll pads for the November 2016 general election at a cost of $18,000.
Tangi Manahan, Clerk Chief Deputy, told the council the poll pads will allow staff to check voters into their correct precincts and will reduce time spent preparing poll books and staffing phone lines on Election Day. She said "approximately 30 counties are using the system and are very happy with it." Dan Caruso moved to approve the transfers authorizing the purchase; Linda Hansen seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
The council authorized internal transfers totaling $18,000 from several Clerk Election Board lines into the supplies account to cover the purchase.
