Summary
The Columbia County Commissioners unanimously approved a Purchase and Service Agreement with Unisyn Voting Solutions Inc. for ballot production and related services through Dec. 31, 2026, while noting ongoing review of mailing logistics to improve ballot delivery times.
The Columbia County Commissioners on Jan. 15 approved a Purchase and Service Agreement with Unisyn Voting Solutions Inc., effective through Dec. 31, 2026. The motion to approve the contract was recorded as moved by Commissioner Karschner and seconded by Commissioner Kovach and carried unanimously.
Commissioner Brewer opened the meeting and the board reviewed a work-session discussion in which a resident, Jazmine Lakey, raised concerns about the last election and mail-in ballots. Commissioners said they are evaluating which vendor to use for ballot production and discussed the possibility of picking up ballots at the Bloomsburg post office to improve mailing times.
The agreement with Unisyn was presented as an operational step to secure ballot-production and related services for upcoming elections; the minutes do not include contract dollar amounts or detailed service terms. The board did not record a roll-call vote tally in the minutes; the decision is noted as “all approved.”
Next steps recorded in the minutes indicate county staff will follow up on vendor logistics and mailing procedures; no separate timeline or contingency conditions were recorded in the meeting minutes.
