Electronic Poll Books
Plainfield Township has implemented the Electronic Poll Books. The E-Poll
Book allows precinct officials to check voters in with a scan of their
driver’s license or ID card. Going from
paper-based to an electronic system speeds up voter check-in, improves accuracy,
and helps expedite election night returns.
The Secretary of State has successfully piloted the E-Poll Book program
in 2008 and is now implementing it statewide.
