Dear Beth Thompson,

Thank you very much for the quick response. I was looking for the more comprehensive operational manual that includes the daily operating procedures which 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)

* Risk-limiting audit 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
* 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

Dear Beth Thompson,

Thank you very much for this information. I misspoke on my first bullet point; I meant "logic and accuracy test", not "risk limiting audit". Would you happen to have the procedures you follow for the pre-election Logic and Accuracy test of your election equipment?
Thanks again.

Yours sincerely,
Stephen Kennedy
