Its been around since the presidential elections of Roosevelt. Teddy not Franklin.

"That machine has served us very well in the last 100 years. People feel confident about is. It works well," says Commissioner Tom Ferrarese.

But this year may be the last time you'll be able to use the old lever voting machine.

"The level and the old bell, I think everyone is familiar with that. Walking into a polling place and pulling that level  and hearing that bell go off will be missed by alot of people," says Commissioner Tom Ferrarese.

News 8 has learned there were be two areas using new computerized voting machines.   New york was supposed to have new machines in place year's ago - after problems in the 2000 presidential election.

"New York State is a little bit more cautious. We also have a bit more regulations here to protect the voter," says Commissioner Tom Ferrarese.

There's plenty thats changed. The first will involve how you vote. People will now bubble in their choice instead of checking it off. Second, voters will now have to place their ballot into a scanning device where its processed.

"You can actually audit that paper against what the machine says. So you'll have a total against the machine but you also be able to audit the paper," says Commissioner Tom Ferrarese.

The machines are also handicap accessible.

"The ballot marking device thats attached to each machine will allow somebody with a disability to create a ballot that will be able to go into the ballot much like the person who fills out the ballot," says Commissioner Tom Ferrarese.

But not everyone will take part in the this year's pilot.

"Those pilot are occurring in Wheatland and in the sixth legislative district in Charlotte," says Commissioner Tom Ferrarese.

The state says its part of an initiative to make voting faster and easier.

"If in fact the pilot goes well this year for everybody, then all counties will have this machine next year," says Commissioner Tom Ferrarese.
