Dear fellow Hanoverians:<\/p>\n
Hanover Town Clerk Catherine Harder-Bernier announced that a pilot
\ndemonstration of KNOWiNK Poll Pads will occur for the first time to check
\nin registered voters at Town Meeting on May 1st, 2017. <\/p>\n
According to Harder-Bernier, \u201cKNOWiNK Poll Pads are the latest iPad-based
\ntechnology that has been approved by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to
\nassist both voters and election workers alike. You may use your driver\u2019s
\nlicense or Mass ID to check in! Using a state-issued ID will speed up the
\nprocess, but Massachusetts law does not require you to do so. If you wish
\nto state your name and address to check in, you may still do so. Poll Pads
\nhave been on my radar and wish list for years, but they were only recently
\napproved for use in Massachusetts. We can\u2019t wait to try them out!\u201d<\/p>\n
Harder-Bernier continued, \u201cRepresentative David DeCoste reached out last
\nweek and together we were able to add Poll Pads to a House budget amendment
\nrequest. We won\u2019t know until early summer if the request is approved.
\nAt the same time, I quickly worked with LHS Associates to obtain both a
\nquote for the House budget process and this free demonstration at our
\nupcoming Town Meeting. We are thrilled to be on the cutting edge of this
\ntechnology.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to Jeff Silvestro, President of LHS Associates, area provider of
\nKNOWiNK technology, KNOWiNK provides a unique approach and proven solution
\nthat will deliver an incomparable, state-of-the-art, seamless voter
\ncheck-in and verification process for the Town of Hanover. Based on
\nnational data, Poll Pads save election costs and time, reduce employee
\novertime, save paper, and speed up check-in for registered voters by
\nscanning driver\u2019s licenses on a Poll Pad.<\/p>\n
