Hays County approves $90,000 in upgrades for voter check in equipment

Plans for a $90,000 upgrade election equipment could mean fewer lines for voters, more information on Election Day and less set up for poll workers, Hays County officials said.

On July 24, Hays County Commissioners unanimously approved a technology upgrade  from Tenex Software Solutions to help overhaul the system that checks voters in at the polls on Election Day and during early voting. The new equipment will not tally votes, but will help bring the voter check in process into the 21^st century, said Hays County Elections Administrator Jennifer Anderson.
