In order to provide for a fair election this May 6 and beyond, staff, volunteers and observers met Tuesday in a mock mini-election with 33 sample ballots to test the county’s voting machines. The test is designed to ascertain that each machine “will accurately count the votes cast for all offices and on all measures,” according to county officials.
Hays County Election Administrator Jennifer Doinoff described why the process is necessary, saying it is to ensure that the machines will provide accurate accounting of votes, an issue that took national prominence in the recent Presidential election.
The announcement of the test was published prior to Tuesday to allow for the public to come and participate.
