Bucks County's brand-new electronic voting machines will be unveiled to the public shortly through a series of training sessions in the months leading up to the Nov. 7 General Election

The "user-friendly" Danaher machines, purchased by the Bucks County commissioners in March in compliance with the Help America Vote Act of 2002, will make voting a virtual walk in the park, officials say.
The county will hold demonstrations on the streamlined machines for the general public as early as Aug. 16 at the annual Middletown Grange Fair. Other sites expected to host demonstrations in the coming months include senior citizen centers, public libraries and schools.
The County of Bucks will also provide educational materials and information via its web site (www.buckscounty.org), poster and brochure distributions, video and DVD recordings, and cable channel access through Comcast Cablevision.
The League of Women Voters and the Bucks County Board of Elections have already begun training volunteers scheduled to work the polls in November. In that light, Voter Education Project Manager Terry Savage led a hands-on training session July 26 to familiarize volunteers with the Danaher machines.
