The Clerk and Recorder’s Office has 500 Ivotronic voting machines in inventory due to the changeover from widespread polling site to mail-in ballots. Although there will still be Ivotronics to support in-person voting, the clerk requested for the equipment to be sent back to the manufacturer without using the public auction process. The commissioners unanimously agreed override county procedure due to sensitive information and technology of Ivotronics. The first buyback will include 365 machines at a re-purchase price of $250 per unit, totaling $91,250.
