HARRISBURG (Newsradio 1020 KDKA) - Pennsylvania elections officials are preparing for new voting systems and new ways to vote in the spring primary.

While Governor Wolf required new voting systems leave a verifiable paper trail, Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar says counties did it differently.

“We have certified eight different voting systems which . . . each could have two to three different configurations in any particular system,” said Boockvar.

So the state has launched 67 webpages for each of the 67 counties showing voters exactly how they will cast ballots in April.

“We want to make sure all voters go to the polls feeling confident and equipped with the information they need to cast their ballots on their new voter-verifiable paper ballot voting systems,” Boockvar said. “These customized websites will help ensure that all voters understand how to use the new auditable voting systems in use in their counties and give all Pennsylvania voters a clear understanding of the voting tools and options available to them.”
