In response to the need for a secure and efficient way to check in hundreds of temporary election workers, Pierce County implemented a biometric clock system. This project has greatly streamlined timekeeping and payroll, allowing elections staff to focus on processing ballots and certifying results for the 2016 Presidential Election.
