MANASSAS, Va. -- The way Manassas residents cast their votes in elections is about to change.
The City Council tonight is expected to approve $101,000 in funding for the purchase of 11 new optical scanning voting machines. The city is the last jurisdiction in Northern Virginia to make the switch from the old touch-screen voting machines in use since 2000 that were banned by state officials following the 2012 Presidential Election.
The council's action will increase the amount of cash set aside for the new voting machines by $10,000, allowing city Voter Registrar Susan Reed to purchase an additional device and accessories for a newly created sixth voting precinct. Plans to purchase the new machines have been in the works for over the past year.
