| | | | | | | | Background:
Hennepin County Resolution 13-0134, adopted on April 23, 2013, authorized the purchase of new digital scan voting equipment for scanning and tabulating ballots cast on election-day and central count machines for counting absentee ballots from the vendor Elections Systems & Software, LLC. (ES&S). This purchase included four central count machines.
Changes in state statute in 2014 led to an expanded use of absentee balloting, which has increased the need for central count machines to tabulate the additional volume of absentee ballots. Three additional machines are needed to efficiently process the anticipated increase of absentee ballots in 2018 and beyond. This request is to approve an amendment to the agreement with ES&S for voting equipment in an amount not to exceed $5,800,000, which is an increase of $550,000, to cover the additional software and maintenance needs for the equipment. These funds were included in the approved 2018 Resident and Real Estate Services’ budget.
This technology request has been reviewed and approved by the office of the Hennepin County CIO.
