Last-minute work was being done leading up to 7 a.m. Tuesday, when the polls open for voters to cast their ballots in the general election.Poll managers picked up their ballot bags Monday afternoon to make sure Hinds County’s 107 precincts will be up and running. “We are actually getting out the last of the machines,” said Hinds County Election Commissioner Jermal Clark. “We are getting the electronic poll books ready to go out. As you see, we have a new electronic poll book for our managers.”Everything you need to know before you head to the polls.New technology is being put in place for the election, as the county is handing out new high-tech tablets to help streamline the voting process. Election workers said the tablets have been programmed and tested. The DS 200 and Express voting machines are still in use. Also, there’s an abundance of caution about anything technology-related on Election Day.“We don’t know what may happen. We are not claiming anything, but the electricity could go off, a lot of things could happen, so we have backup with paper books,” said Hinds County Election Commissioner Yvonne Robinson Horton. The last-minute due diligence from election staff is gauging a voter turnout that could be much higher than the primaries and perhaps more than four years ago at this time.“Right now, we have a good turnout so far,” said Hinds County Circuit Clerk Zack Wallace. “We have over 3,500 absentee voters. That is mail-in and in-person, so that is a good turnout.”It is a good turnout based on 2,500 mail-in ballots cast at this time four years ago. Mail-in ballots are often an indicator of voter turnout.
