White County Election Supervisor Akyn Bailey has set up a new Election Training Precinct for interested members of the community to stop in and explore the Dominion and KnowInk election equipment.
The equipment is available during regular business hours, Bailey said during a recent interview on WRWH Radio. They will have training material loaded on a Poll Pad, BMD, and Tabulator for individuals to practice voting and familiarize themselves with the equipment.
“I hope this will build confidence within our community,” Bailey said.
In addition, she pointed out that, in the past, elderly and disabled voters were placed on a permanent list to receive an absentee ballot application automatically. However, due to Georgia’s new voting law, they are no longer able to provide that service. Affected voters will receive a letter by mail.
These voters will still be able to access an application online and through the Elections Office office by request.
