“Any pen works on our Clear Ballot scanners, whether vote by mail or in person. No need for Sharpies or special ink. Just fill in the voting oval with a regular blue or black ink pen is our recommendation. We also discourage the use of “x” or pencil.” Czarny said via email to the Your Stories Team.

But it is too early and there are too many caveats to draw any conclusions from that initial enthusiasm, said Dustin Czarny, the county’s Democratic elections commissioner.
