DESCRIPTION
A public agency in Washington is seeking a vendor to provide an elections tabulation system, including all hardware and software required for ballot design, scanning, adjudication, tabulation, and results reporting. The system is intended to improve the speed and efficiency of vote tabulation while supporting transparent, auditable election operations.
The requested solution should use cost-effective scanners with broad vendor support and a low total cost of ownership. It must be capable of scanning and adjudicating ballots simultaneously at full capacity without lag or downtime, and it should use modern technology to reliably read dirty or damaged ballots. The system should also reduce the need for hand-duplicating ballots by supporting a wide range of paper types and sizes.
In addition, the agency expects the solution to maintain high standards for ballot design and production, while strengthening audit capabilities, transparency, and public accountability through both standard and ad hoc reporting. Questions regarding the solicitation must be submitted by August 19, 2026.
