Gwinnett County commissioners took steps on Tuesday to start moving toward an automated system of handling incoming absentee ballots while also getting ready for next year’s elections cycle.
County commissioners voted to purchase a $401,508 vote by mail automation system from Quadient Inc. Elections supervisor Zach Manifold told commissioners the new system would ensure Gwinnett was ready if another pandemic situation, similar to the large increase in absentee-by-mail voting that occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic, happens again.
