» Secretary of State Regulations Require Changes to Our Distribution of Equipment                                  As a part of the re-certification of our voting system last year we must now send the same voting booths and JBCs (Judges Booth Controllers) to the same precincts each election.  This has required a complete overhaul of the way we inventory our voting booths.  In addition, we now send out different quantities of booths depending on historical turnout.
