Body
SOURCE OF FUNDING:
General Fund (1100140-519102) Elections Voter Modernization Bond Act
General Fund (1100271-9360) Clerk - Recorder General Fund Contribution
DISCUSSION:
The Election Department has available funding through the State's Voter Modernization Bond Act of 2002 which can only be used for voting equipment and is set to expire in June 2023.
The Election Department proposes to use this funding in addition to the county matching funds to purchase additional voting equipment for the implementation of the Voters Choice Act (VCA) voting model. The VCA offers voters more choices on how, when, and where they vote. This will expand services to vote centers across the county which were previously only available at the Elections Office in Eureka.
This purchase would consist of Phase IV of Humboldt County's Voting Modernization strategy. Phase I and II covered equipment that reached end-of-life and which was replaced in Phase III with the Hart InterCivic Verity system. Phase IV involves purchase of 15 ballot-on-demand units which will allow the county to print every ballot style at any VCA location countywide.
