Poll Pads should keep election lines moving in some N.H. towns

CONWAY — When voters in Conway, Bartlett, Jackson and Ossipee head to the polls for the Sept. 10 primary and Nov. 5 general elections, with the help of new “Poll Pads,” people should be able to check in to vote faster and more easily than in the past. The four towns are among 18 in the Granite State that will be using the iPads in place of poll books to check in voters.

They allow election workers to scan voters’ driver’s licenses or a state ID. Voters then get a receipt and take it to another table to be exchanged for a ballot.

“The new process streamlines voter check-in, reducing the time per customer to 10-15 seconds,” Bartlett Town Clerk Cheryl Nealley said Wednesday during a meeting with Conway Town Clerk Louise Inkell and Jackson Town Clerk Karen Burton at Bartlett Town Hall.

In Ossipee, Town Clerk Kellie Skehan has also made the move to Poll Pads.
