Built on the eLect Admin election management system, the eLect poll book combines a Software as a Service delivery model with commercially available tablets to ensure an economical and perpetually state-of-the-art system. The announcement coincides with the Ohio State Legislature appropriation of $12.7 million for county governments to upgrade to e-poll books.
“We are extremely excited about our product as it offers Ohio a complete poll station management system,” said Timothy Vlach, Poll Book Product Manager. “The judgement for full certification allows us to partner with the counties to improve the voting experience.”
