Get ready for a pile of paper when you vote this summer and fall

You're likely to get a sheaf of papers when you vote this fall in Broward County , as Florida shifts from electronic, touch-screen voting machines to paper ballots.

The ballot won't be as lengthy for the Aug. 26 primary, when supervisors of elections in the state's largest counties make a massive transition in voting equipment.

Broward Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes said Wednesday that a typical voter in November can expect to receive ballots that consist of four or five pages - with contests and referendums on both sides of each sheet. That's largely because of the space needed to print proposed amendments to the state Constitution.
