Is it possible to ask them a PQ, where we ask them to detail exactly how 
the system will save money ?
What studies/calculations have been done in this regard?
In particular, what staff are envisaged to be used
in the polling stations, and what exactly would their roles be?

Does anyone know if this type of question would get anywhere.
