articleThe Brief Collin County will switch to hand-marked paper ballots for in-person voting starting with the November 2025 election. The Collin County Commissioners Court unanimously approved the purchase of equipment on Monday to implement hand-marked paper ballots for in-person voting, effective with the November 2025 election. What they're saying:"This is about restoring trust and strengthening the integrity of our elections," Collin County Judge Chris Hill said. "Hand-marked paper ballots provide a voter-verifiable record while still benefiting from the accuracy and efficiency of machine tabulation." "The Collin County Elections Department and its staff are fully committed to the successful implementation of the in-person ballot-on-demand (BOD) method of voting," said Collin County Elections Administrator Kaleb Breaux.
