This morning we learned that the Franklin County Board of Elections was not able to upload all early in-person voting data into their electronic check-in system. Because of this, they are shifting to paper pollbooks to check-in voters today. 1/3
Secretary LaRose directed every board of elections to have paper pollbooks as a contingency plan to ensure the integrity of the system and so no voter may vote twice. It will not impact the security or accuracy of today’s vote. 2/3
It's important to note that this does NOT impact voting machines in any way, and only modifies how voters are checked in. 3/3
Paper pollbooks are required in every county. See our directive 2020-11, issued in July.
