(31,086 posts)New voting equipment
The 2016 primary election marks the first time that D.C. voters will use new voting equipment. The new system is expected to speed up check-in for voters and provide faster vote tabulation, board spokeswoman Mikhaylova said.
The new equipment still uses an optical scan machine that tabulates votes. But the ballots can either be marked with a pen or with the help of a new device that will guide voters with disabilities through the ballot, mark their choices and print out a completed ballot.
The new equipment will also allow poll workers to wirelessly transmit election results from precincts to the board once the polls have closed. That should speed up the vote-counting process, Mikhaylova said.
Election workers will check in voters using an electronic poll book access on an iPad. Election workers will be able to scan Department of Motor Vehicles-issued ID cards or voter registration cards to pull up the correct voter instantly. They can also use the manual search option to quickly identify voters. On Election Day, election workers will also be able to direct voters who show up at the wrong polling place to the correct one.
Voters will still submit a signature, but they will sign the tablet instead of a paper poll book, Mikhaylova said.
The electronic poll books have streamlined the check-in process during early voting, she said.
About 15,000 voters cast their ballots as of late Friday afternoon. Early voting ended Saturday. More than 300,000 registered voters are eligible to vote Tuesday.

Glitch believed to be based in mobile app erases some D.C. voters party affiliation
"Voters reported multiple problems in casting ballots in the District on Tuesday, raising the possibility that technical issues could mar a citywide election for the second year in a row.
An unknown number of D.C. voters who went to the polls discovered that their party affiliation had changed without their authorization.
Three voters interviewed by The Post said they were told their registration was no longer Democrat but N-P, meaning no party, preventing them from casting regular ballots counted on Election Day.
The Distrtict has a closed primary; only voters registered as Democrats, Republicans and D.C. Statehood Green party members can participate."
