A committee is working to replace the current voting system. Lawmakers had initially set a deadline to phase out the existing method by July 1, 2026, but this was later pushed back to 2028. As a result, the current system will still be in use for the upcoming midterms.
The committee's goal is to transition to a new method of casting ballots. This change is intended to address concerns with the current system. Further information on the committee's progress and recommendations is available.
The transition process involves evaluating new equipment and standards for ballot counting, with the aim of implementing a more secure and reliable system.
