Douglas County’s voting machines, which showed their age in the last election, are going to be replaced.

After 13 years, the machines need to go, according to Clerk-Treasurer Kathy Lewis.

The county has allocated $500,000 for the machines. The Legislature has set aside $1.8 million to help all the counties purchase voting machines; Douglas will receive $249,527.

Commissioners last week agreed to buy 139 electronic machines from Dominion Voting Systems. They will be in place for the 2018 elections.
