- ELECTIONS EQUIPMENT: Gordon County has received the new elections equipment. The first use of the new equipment will be in the March 2020 Primary Election. The new equipment presents challenges for storage, electrical circuit access, moving, security and manpower. The Board of Elections needs about 1,600 square feet of air-conditioned space for storage and a work area since this equipment uses up a lot more space than the old units. A representative from the State has been evaluating the current polling places for compatibility with the new equipment and should give a report tomorrow.
