will run 489 test ballots on the absentee voting machine which is located in the
clerk's office and is available for absentee voting during regular business hours, 8:30 a.m.- 4:30 p.m.,
Monday-Friday, and again from 8:30-12:30 p.m. on March 30. Parks noted there are 27 ballot types for the April 2
election depending on where a voter lives in the county and what is on the ballot for that city or township. In Livingston County, there are 10 voting precincts. The county has a total of 14 voting machines for the upcoming election. Random testing of the one of the
