Board approves contracts for election tabulation and additional training
Summary
The board approved a four-year contract with the state-designated tabulation vendor at about $9,709.38 per year and approved a $19,000 ClearBail training package (a $14,000 LMS and a $5,000 in-person course) to improve inspector training and election troubleshooting.
Elections staff asked the board to enter a four-year agreement with the state-designated tabulation vendor for about $9,709.38 per year to streamline election-night reporting and reduce manual spreadsheet work. Staff said the vendor is the state Board of Elections’ authorized provider for tabulation services and that the tool integrates with voting machines for verified tabulation.
"$9,709.38 per year," Elections staff said when describing the annual cost. The board moved and approved the contract. Elections staff also sought a $19,000 amendment to the contract with ClearBail to provide improved training: a $14,000 online learning-management system and a $5,000 two-day in-person refresher for staff and inspectors. "It's a good refresher," staff said; the board approved the allocation and noted budget funds could be reallocated within elections to cover it.
Nut graf: County elections staff said both purchases aim to speed results reporting and improve in‑person troubleshooting on election mornings. Staff emphasized the training would help new inspectors and reduce time county staff spend manually preparing tabulation spreadsheets.
