And commissioners will decide whether to accept the board's recommendation later that day.
Last week, Kathie Chastain Cooper, the county's director of elections, was visibly angered when the board of elections recommended optical-scan machines from Elections Systems & Software Co.
She had favored the touch-screen machines from Diebold Election Systems, a company mired in controversy over the reliability and security of its equipment.
