Any county participating in the pilot project may be eligible to receive funding from the state for 50 percent of the costs to lease purchase an electronic voting system for a period of not to exceed eight years from funds appropriated for election purposes which may accrue from savings in administrative and printing expense through the use of electronic voting. The Secretary of State may use as a guideline in determining the funds available for state reimbursement for the pilot project to a participating county the amount of the state reimbursement to the counties for election purposes and printing costs who had leased election systems during the 1988, 1990, and 1992 election years.
Any county participating in the pilot project may receive funding from the state for 50 percent of the annual county lease purchase payment for the electronic system in lieu of reimbursement to the county for future voting machine ballot printing costs.
