City Of Portsmouth: Clerk Announces Use Of Time-Saving Electronic Voter Check-In For Municipal Election

Press release from the City of Portsmouth:

Voters arriving at each of the City’s Ward polling places on November 7 will provide their names and photo IDs as usual and then the poll worker will be able to quickly confirm the name and identity on the poll pad instead of having to use a paper voter list, as before. The voters will receive printed confirmations of their authorization to vote, which they provide to the poll worker distributing ballots. They then mark their ballots as instructed on the form. The paper list will be kept at each polling place in case it is needed, but the electronic check-in will speed up the process.
