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

You would have to OPRA the State Division of Elections and get the information from when the machines were certified. I do not have the companies written procedures.

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
