Dear LizBeth Hernandez,

My email address is VIUSinc [ at ] yahoo [ dot ] com .

I will clarify the request further:

This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form. Please acknowledge receipt of this message.

Records requested:
I am looking for comprehensive operational manual(s), which cover the daily operating procedures the county uses to carry out state election law. This would include, but not be limited to, operational procedures related to the conduct of elections; maintenance of voter rolls; acquisition, installation, maintenance and retirement of electronic election infrastructure; and procedures for training, overseeing and managing election personnel . Such activities may be, for example: (not a complete list)

* Logic and Accuracy Test procedures (or if by another name, the partial audit of equipment before an election)
* Post-election audit procedures
* Signature verification training materials and procedures
* Procedure to verify voter address, name, signature, and other PII upon registration.
* Procedure for deactivation of voter, reactivation of voter, removal of voter record
* Procedure to identify and resolve duplications and/or discrepancies between counties in the case of voters who have moved to another county in-state
* Backup procedures for electronic equipment used in elections
* Chain of custody procedures for mail in ballots, in-person early voting ballots, provisional ballots, in-person day of election ballots, UOCAVA ballots
* Procedure to send, receive, verify, transcribe, scan and tabulate UOCAVA (federal only) ballots
* Procedures for acquisition, installation, maintenance and retirement of electronic election infrastructure
* Other related operational procedures related to the operation and conduct of elections, election infrastructure, and election personnel

I realize this is a comprehensive request, and the information may exist in more than one document. I am requesting this information in electronic format, preferably PDF, Excel (.csv, .xlsx, .xls), and Word (.doc, .docx). If there will be a charge to convert physical media (print, microfilm, etc.) please advise. I appreciate your help.

Yours sincerely,
Stephen Kennedy
