GUILFORD COUNTY, N.C. -- Long lines at the polls could soon be a thing of the past. Twenty-four additional early voting locations will open Thursday morning.
Crews have been working all week to get the new locations ready.
Long-time poll worker, Jimmy Maness, spent Wednesday afternoon setting up20 different polling machines at Craft Recreation Center on Yanceyville Street.
"Each election has its own challenges," Maness explained. "But after 16 years working at the polls, you know how to adapt."
The Board of Elections has some measures in place to make sure these new sites stay secure.
"When we deliver the machines and set them up, we close these up and do tamper evidence seals," Elections Director, CharlieCollicut, said. "That way if someone were to tamper with the machines overnight the election workers would know because the seal would break."
They alsorecalibrate each machine every morning. This ensures the machine can read a voter"s touch.
