Electronic counting

20061108_vote

Darryl Allan, Information and Technology manager for the town, demonstrated to mayoral and councillor candidates how one of the two electronic voting tabulators to be used this coming Monday works during a meeting Thursday afternoon at the Civic Centre. At a processing rate of 500 votes an hour, the election results are expected to be calculated fast. As of the end of yesterday, over 2,700 ballots have been returned to the town. Those who haven’t mailed in their ballots yet are encouraged to drop them off at the town hall between now and election day.
