During poll worker training Thursday in Council Chambers at the Municipal Building, Los Alamos County Clerk Sharon Stover demonstrates how it takes 8 seconds for the new voting machines to scan and accept two-sided ballots and once accepted, a bell sounds to let the voter know ‘all is well.’ Poll workers were trained for the Nov. 4 General Election.

The slogan for the new machines that take 8 seconds to scan two-sided ballots is, ‘When you hear the bell – all is well’ meaning the bell sounds when the machine has accepted that ballot.
