The State is soliciting competitive sealed proposals for development, implementation and support of certain Elections IT applications. Today, the State election-related business processes are inefficient and error-prone. For example, in the course of operations it is not uncommon for the same business data to go from paper-to computer multiple times and into multiple repositories (e.g., filesystems and spreadsheets). In addition, nearly all of these elections-related applications are at the end of their useful life and the State is unable to economically extend them.
