Philly City Commissioners make contentious choice for new voting machines

By Adam Hermann
PhillyVoice Staff

Voting machine inspector Mike Brown works at the polling location in the dining room of The Gold Standard Cafe on Baltimore Ave. in West Philadelphia, Tuesday, May 15, 2018.

Philadelphia’s City Commissioners voted Wednesday in favor of a new voting machines system, which feature bar code readers and printed ballots.

The machines, called the ExpressVote XL, are manufactured by Election Systems & Software. They operated by a voter first using a touchscreen to make his or her selections.

The machine then prints a completed paper ballot with both a bar code and plain text showing the voter's selections. That bar code is then read by a scanner, which records the votes, according to Philly.com.
