Board of Elections - A new way to cast ballots - Optical Scanner Voting Process
When voters in New York State go to vote this Fall they will be voting on new Optical Scanner Voting Machines.  The Help America Vote Act (HAVA) requires that all states replace their Lever Machines.  So, Washington County’s Lever Machines will no longer be used.

The new Optical Scanner voting process begins with a registered voter receiving a paper ballot after signing the Poll Book. They will select the candidate of their choice by filling in the oval near the candidate’s name with a black marker.  Then the voter inserts the ballot into the Optical Scanner Machine, this scans and records the selections made by the voter.  Having cast their vote the voter now exits the Poll Site. 

The Board of Elections encourages voters who come to the Washington County Fair (August 23-29, 2010) to stop by the County Building (located across the street from the fair office) and try out the new machine.  Voters will actually cast a vote in a “Mock Election” on the Optical Scanner Voting Machine. Also, a machine will be set up at the Board of Election’s office at 383 Broadway, Fort Edward for practice voting.  The office is open Monday through Friday 8:30 – 4:30.

Welcome to Washington County, New York.  One of 62 counties in the State of New York, Washington County was founded as Charlotte County in 1772 and later named after our first president in 1784.  With 30 departments ranging from the approximately 200 employees of Pleasant Valley and 140 employees of the Department of Social Services to the one member of the Department of Weights and Measures, Washington County is charged with providing necessary and incidental services to its 62,000 citizens.

Washington County is governed by a Board of Supervisors (B.O.S.) which is comprised of the town supervisors from each of the County's 17 towns.  Votes are calculated on a weighted basis reflecting the population base of each town.  The Board of Supervisors is the chief legislative and executive body of the County and makes the laws and resolutions which govern the County's operations.
