Elk County will be using a new voting system that includes a "paper trail" in this year's General Election.  The Commissioners approved a contract in May 2019 with Election Systems and Software for the ExpressVote Tabulator System.

The ExpressVote Tabulator System combines electronic ballot marking with a verifiable paper vote record (a piece of paper).  The Tabulator System allows the voter to review their voting choices via paper ballot printed by the Tabulator prior to casting their official ballot.

Voters who are interested in a demonstration of the ExpressVote Tabulator System are invited to an Open House to be held in the Courthouse Annex Building, Conference Room #2, at 300 Center Street in Ridgway, PA 15853 on October 15, 2019 between the hours of 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. or 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

As always, you can visit the Elections & Voter Registration web page for information on the upcoming election.

Elk County Launches PulsePoint

Are you CPR Certified ?   

Did you ever wish you could help someone in need of CPR ?


Elk County is proud to partner with the Allegheny Health Network / St. Vincent Hospital to bring to our residents

PulsePoint is comprised of 2 APPS that can be downloaded to your cell phone (either IOS or Android). 

  

The PulsePoint RESPOND APP is used to notify you when a cardiac arrest is occurring at a public location within ¼ mile of where you are currently located.  The purpose of this is to alert CPR trained individuals that they may be able to help someone in need while first responders are going to the scene.  Seconds count in these situations; so being able to begin CPR at the earliest possible time is the goal.  You will never be sent to someone's private residence - only public locations.

 

The PulsePoint AED APP allows a user to assist in creating a registry of AED machines and their locations.  This assists 911 to inform responders / callers of the location of any nearby AED machines during a crisis.

 

More information, including downloads, is available at www.pulsepoint.org. 

New Voting Machines

Elk County has received the first two of its new voting machines from Election Systems & Software (ES&S).  These new machines are compliant with federal requirements and state election law requiring a paper backup of every voter's ballot.  Each of these machines is also fully ADA Compliant to assist any voter with special accommodations.  



The remaining machines will be delivered and acceptance tested in late August; and we anticipate using these new voting machines in November's General Election. 
Pictured below are Election Board Member Jim Abbey, Elections Director Kimberly Frey, Deputy Elections Director Sue Milliard, Election Board Member Jan Kemmer and Election Board Member Dan Freeburg.



Stay tuned for more updates including poll worker training, an open house for public viewing of the new machines, and more.

Keeping with Election News, the Johnsonburg 1^st and Johnsonburg 2^nd polling location has been moved to the JOHNSONBURG COMMUNITY CENTER BLDG. at 600 Market Street, Johnsonburg effective for the November 5, 2019 General Election.  As always, you can keep up with the latest election news on the Elk County Election and Voter Registration web page.
