People heading to the polls Tuesday to vote in San Luis Obispo County are experiencing a slightly different check-in process, as the county has introduced electronic poll books.
The technology is designed to make poll workers’ jobs a little easier and allow voters to be processed through their polling place faster.
Until now, voters would provide their name, and the poll worker would look them up on a paper roster. That process is now electronic.

On the Cal Poly campus, students have been out in full force, dropping their ballots off at the University Union. Some students on Tuesday were requesting provisional ballots to ensure their votes would count.
