Case Study: Fulton County accelerates ballot processing with OPEX ballot opening and extraction equipment

Fulton County cuts ballot opening staff from 150 to 7 with OPEX

Fulton County faced a significant challenge in processing a massive, six-fold increase in mail-in ballots for recent elections. With hundreds of thousands of envelopes to open manually, their previous process was no longer feasible. They turned to OPEX Corporation and its Model 72 Ballot Opener and Extractors to automate this critical task.

The solution from OPEX allowed Fulton County to drastically reduce its manual labor force. The county needed only seven staff members to open hundreds of thousands of envelopes, a task that previously required 150 people. The performance and support from OPEX were so impressive that Fulton County purchased additional machines to prepare for future elections.
