Electronic Voting Procedures
At this Town Meeting, residents will vote by electronic voting device. Doing so allows for faster votes, ensured accuracy, and anonymity.
The voting devices, or handsets, look a bit like TV remote controls – but instead of pushing buttons to changes channels, voters push the buttons to vote: the 1 button for “Yes,” or the 2 button for “No.”
The following describes the procedures that will govern electronic voting at Andover’s Town Meetings.
Voters are strongly encouraged to arrive for voter check-in between 6:00-6:45pm. Given the procedures associated with electronic voting, the check-in process will take more time than usual. The meeting will start promptly at 7:00pm.
Voters attending the Town Meeting will check-in with Town Clerk’s Office staff operating “PollPads.” As voters check-in to confirm their voter registration, they will be given a handset for use during that Town Meeting session.
