Procurement and Implementation

As part of our #Gameplan17 initiative, we are excited to announce a long term program focused on assisting election administrators with each step in the process of procuring and implementing election systems.

This program will include best practices; tip sheets or checklists; templates for RFPs and contracts; panel discussions; videos and more.

This program will work through the process, mirroring the steps taken to get new systems in place. We will provide guidance and assistance on:

Conducting a needs assessment;
Election/voting system requirements development;
RFP creation and bid review;
Tips on funding equipment purchases;
Guidance on conducting certification testing;
Contracting for equipment, training and maintenance;
Acceptance testing for new election systems;
Pollworker training for new equipment;
Voter education programs;
Pre-election testing;
New system implementation;
Pilot programs;
And post election audits and analysis.
