City Clerk’s Office to test voting equipment

GREENFIELD — The City Clerk’s Office will conduct a test of its optical scan voting equipment at City Hall on Wednesday, Aug. 17, starting at 10:15 a.m. in advance of the Sept. 6 state primary election.

According to City Clerk Kathy Scott, the state requires the city clerk to prepare a “test deck” with at least 50 ballots that will be fed through the scanning equipment. The ballots will be marked in such a way to adequately test the computer program, demonstrate rejection of over-voted ballots, and test any other contents of the computer program that may impact the accuracy of the vote count.

For more information, contact the City Clerk’s Office at 413-772-1555, ext. 6162.
