Sumner County is one of 10 counties that has expressed interest in a program called "convenience voting" that would allow citizens to vote at any polling location rather than those designated by the precinct where they live.
The program makes use of new technology which Sumner County is already using which allows for a voter's proper voting information to be fed into any voting machine. So, if you were on your way home and passed a precinct with a short line, you could get in and vote and the machine would be set up for your proper precinct.
Because the system is computerized and online, the votes are counted properly no matter which precinct a voter uses.
A similar process is used for early voting, allowing voters to show up at a designated central location and vote for the proper candidates for their district.
The move could come as early as the 2014 elections.
