Park County commissioners approved a renewal of the county’s contract with Dominion Voting Systems after negotiations reduced the price and the vendor confirmed removal of Wi‑Fi capabilities from equipment; county staff will verify removal during a planned August visit.
PARK COUNTY, Colo. — Park County commissioners approved a renewal of the county’s service agreement with Dominion Voting Systems on July 23, saying negotiated changes reduced recurring costs and that the vendor agreed to certify that equipment no longer has Wi‑Fi capability.
County staff told the board the vendor would remove or certify removal of Wi‑Fi components; staff said Dominion representatives will return to the county on Aug. 26 to ensure all wireless capability has been removed from the equipment. Commissioners said they expect the vendor to verify the removal in person and expressed concern that voting equipment not be network-connected.
The board approved the service agreement with the negotiated adjustments and thanked county staff for their work on pricing. Commissioners discussed that election equipment should be auditable and not networked; one commissioner described a preference for manual, auditable processes.
The renewal decision was procedural; county staff will monitor the vendor’s onsite verification and ongoing compliance with election security requirements.
