The Buchanan County Clerk’s office has all of its ballots in and is getting ready to test its machines ahead of the November election.
Buchanan County Clerk Mary Baack-Garvey said the ballots came in more than a week ago but with the big push to get people registered to vote they got put on hold.
“Now we are back above water and can start working on other things,” Baack-Garvey said. “We have to stuff all the supplies for the election judges.”
Baack-Garvey said she ordered enough ballots for 105-percent turnout. She is anticipating around an 80-percent turnout but said it could be more.
Wednesday, Oct. 26 the clerk’s office plans to test the machines so they are up and running election night.
While voter registration is finished in Buchanan County, Baack-Garvey said it’s important that people realize they can still change their name or addresses if needed.
