Information provided by returning officers to my Department in relation to storage costs (including insurance) for the electronic voting equipment under local arrangements is set out in the following table; the information is provided by returning officers on a county/city basis and delivery of the equipment for use at the June 2004 elections began towards the end of 2003. Arrangements are now underway for the storage of electronic voting equipment at centralised premises in Gormanston and machines from a number of constituencies have already been transferred to the Gormanston facility.
