2026-11-03

A . The election system components include sensitive computerized tabulation and ballot marking equipment . Specialized care for this equipment , especially during the delivery and return of this equipment , will ensure the functional operation and extended lifespan of the voting system . B . The election equipment includes precinct specific election supplies , ADA handicap accessible equipment , and tabulation equipment that must be staged , transported , and accurately delivered to each precinct during a specified election . C . The election equipment will be housed and transported in welded security carts that are 48 x 24 x 58 and the General Services Election Department intends to use carts for all locations . D . The election system must be transported and delivered to precincts and efficiently assembled during a very limited timeframe . This process is limited to just days and sometimes hours prior to the election . E . The estimated precinct count is 180 . The maximum we will plan for is 200 . F . Machines are delivered starting the week before an election , on Tuesday . Machines are picked up on Wednesday through Friday , following an election . All machines must be received by Friday , at the latest Monday after an election . G . Equipment CANNOT be left inside vehicles overnight . H . Site Rejection : A site rejection is where the company goes out to deliver / pick - up and the polling site denies access to receive / release the election equipment . The elections department should be notified immediately , and work / delivery order should be notated . I . The election system , to operate effectively , should be assembled at each precinct in a very efficient manner to adhere to the detailed planning of the Jefferson County Election Division and Moving Company . Equipment precinct delivery and assembly will clearly impact the success of the election being conducted . J . Delivery mistakes or damaged equipment could clearly jeopardize voter and poll worker confidence on Election Day . Therefore , damaged equipment should be reported to the County ASAP , otherwise damage will be assumed to have taken place during vendor services and vendor will be liable for the machine . Collectively , the above five factors demonstrate the need for professional and experienced assistance in the delivery of our county ’ s state - of - the - art voting system . The success of an election system delivery and retrieval proposal is reliant upon the management skills and established resources of a professional entity that is experienced in all aspects of transporting and facilitating electronic equipment and machinery . A professional relationship with an experienced and reputable vendor for the delivery of our voting equipment is essential for the county ’ s success in all elections
