Perfection Ballot Box retires at 100 years old

October 18, 2024 By Deborah Anderson, Express Staff

Town Clerk Tara Shaw met Plympton residents Saturday morning to officially retire the 100 year old “Perfection” ballot box, to be replaced by the Imagecast Precinct® beginning with the Nov. 5 presidential election.
While about 40 residents came to hear the presentation Saturday, Shaw is sure that voters will need a bit of instruction the first time voting. To help residents become accustomed to the new tabulator, a brief instructional video will be available on the Town of Plympton website and it will also be showing at the Town House during the hours voting is going on.
With the new vote tabulator, results will be available almost instantly when the polls close. The teams of ballot counters will no longer be needed; just a couple of counters to read the write-ins. The tabulator will count all votes on the ballot except the write-in votes which are put aside for a human count.
This is the end of an era for the town of Plympton and residents tipped a cup of coffee and enjoyed a slice of cake in Perfection’s honor.
