New process speeds up how some vote-by-mail ballots are cast, tallied in Fresno County

FRESNO COUNTY, Calif. (KFSN) -- Counties are implementing a small but impactful change in counting vote-by-mail ballots.

When voters walk into a vote center with a completed ballot, it will now be run through a tabulator to be counted on the spot, part of a system Fresno County has labeled "live vote-by-mail processing."

"This process should make it faster for voters that had the opportunity to fill out their ballot at home," Fresno County's Registrar of Voters James Kus said.

He says the new system helps solve a major frustration for election workers and voters.

Under the old process, voters who showed up to a vote center with a completed ballot had two choices.
