Voting equipment was set up Feb. 14 in a metro Atlanta warehouse so that each touchscreen tablet, printer and scanner could be tested before being shipped to Georgia counties. The new machines will be put to use as early voting begins.

Early voting for Georgia’s presidential primary begins across the state Monday.

It comes seven months after Georgia awarded a $100 million contract for a new voting system for the entire state. This election marks the first time they’ll be used en masse.

Fulton County’s top elections official says lines at polling places for early voting should move quickly despite most people using the state’s new voting machines for the first time.
