Board of Elections <br /> <br />The Cabarrus County Board of Elections uses PBCHID Tabulators to store and calculate <br />election results on the day of each election. One PBCIXID Tabulator is used per precinct. <br />New PBC1HD tabulators cost approximately $7,500.00 each. However, Election System <br />and Sol, ware, has ceased making the tabulators so we are having to buy them whenever <br />another county puts them up for sell. Election System and Sot~vare is still maintaining <br />and servicing the tabulators but at some point, they will stop making parts. <br /> <br />There is a possibility that Forsyth County Board of Elections will be selling over I00 <br />PBCIHD tabulators sometime this year or in 2000. Rutherford County is also in the <br />process of getting new voting machines in the near future. <br /> <br />The Caharrus County Board of Elections initially bought our present PBCIIID tabulators <br />in late 1989. The Board would like to continue operating the PBCmT~ tabulators for the <br />next 5 to 8 years or as long as possible due to the paper4rail it affords, the voters easy <br />application of the system and the knowledge that in eight years voting systems will be <br />more advanced. We have 42 precincts at this time (counting the absentee precinct and <br />one-stop precinct) and 43 tabulators. One is used as a hack up in case of an emergency. <br /> <br />The Board would like to purchase 25 additional tabulators, as soon as they become <br />available fi.om another county at $4,000.00 each. We have, in our budget this year, funds <br />for 3 tabulators at $7,500.00 each ($22,500.00). As soon as we are able, we will need to <br />split the following precincts due to an unusually high number of registered voters: <br /> <br />P1-B3 (First Union Bank, Harrisburg) <br />P2-B2 (Concord Fire Station #5-Pitt) <br />P8 (Mt. Pleasant Lion Hut) <br />T10 (Midland Fire Station) <br />P12-B9(National Guard Armory) <br /> <br />2,793 registered voters <br />3,767 registered voters <br />3,209 registered voters <br />3,089 registered voters <br />3,293 registered voters <br /> <br />The Western part of the county is growing at such an accelerated rate that within that five <br />to eight years there will be many more splits, and if Election System and SoRware <br />discontinues making the parts we can use the additional tabulators for parts. <br /> <br /> <br />
