VBT Clerk again presides at Belleville High School election

On May 13, Van Buren Township Clerk Leon Wright will again put on the Belleville High School Student Council election in the BHS Commons using regular voting machines and coded ballots.
Students will serve as poll workers and will check student identification before issuing coded ballots and directing voters to voting booths.
Ballots will be entered into one of two M100 voting tabulators and votes will be tallied electronically at the end of Election Day.
Clerk Wright said his goal in providing this true-to-life experience for students is to foster a lifelong commitment to voting and active participation in the voting process.
This project is made possible through donations from The Charles B. Cozzad Rotary Foundation, Attorney Patrick McCauley, Wade Trim Engineering, and the Van Buren Public Schools.
Clerk Wright thanked Elections Systems & Software and Inland Press for the ballot production and coding.
