Owego Brings Paper Ballots Back (video available at link)
Mar 11, 2010

Instead of pulling a lever on a machine, voters in Owego will mark a single X or a single check.

"In December 2009 the new voting machines at the Tioga County Board of Elections became certified, at that point the lever machines became outdated, illegal to use," said Village Clerk Treasurer Lynne Mieczkowski.

Mieczkowski says no one in Tioga County is trained to run programming on new electronic machines.

So it has to use paper ballots.
...
Once they fill out their ballot, they'll drop it into this lock box.
...
"At the end of the day as long as every vote is counted and people mark the ballot correctly and their vote is counted how they want to vote, then that's fine," said Gavin.
