Romulus will use Electronic Poll Books for Upcoming Presidential Primary
The City of Romulus, like several other municipalities across the State of Michigan, will use the new Electronic Poll Book (E-Poll Book) at the February 28, 2012 Presidential Primary Election.
Through grant monies provided by the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), the City has taken advantage of an opportunity to participate in a grant program to procure a laptop computer, card scanner, and related accessories for each precinct. E-Poll Book works in conjunction with the State's Qualified Voter file.
The E-Poll Book will replace the hand-written poll book and poll lists and provide a more accurate method of identifying voters. Voters will be asked to swipe their Michigan Driver's Licenses throught the card reader, which will bring that voter's information on the computer screen. From there, a ballot may be issued and the voter's name will be automatically added to a computer poll list.
Each computer will have a list of registered voters for that precinct and will also include a list of all other City-registered voters. If someone is at the wrong precinct, they can quickly be directed to the correct precinct without having to call the City Clerk's Office.
All Election Inspectors will be trained on the E-Poll Book; this is a new process and it may take a few elections for the Election Inspectors to become proficient. Precinct Inspectors will appreciate your patience and understanding on Election Day.
