Fulton County voters can now cast their ballots in the 2020 presidential primary at locations throughout the county.
Registered voters can cast a ballot at 21 polling locations ahead of the primary on March 24.
This is the first live test for Fulton's new voting system, which comes following the largest rollout of elections equipment in U.S. history.
The state awarded Dominion Voting Systems a $104 million contract this summer to provide more than 75,000 new computers and printers to 2,600 precincts. The 18-year-old electronic machines in Fulton lacked a paper ballot and are being replaced with a patchwork of touchscreens, printed ballots and scanners.

Voters make their selections on large tablets, the system prints out the selections with a code, then the voters take their paper to a scanner, which records the vote and retains the printout as a paper record.
There was a mock election in February that had no hiccups for the 700 people who went through the process.
The biggest issue during the dry-run, said Fulton’s director of registration and elections Richard Barron, was that voters wanted to take their printouts home as a receipt. But keeping the paper means not only that your vote isn’t recorded, but it’s a crime.
