Dear Mr. Ikonomakis,
On Thursday, March 12, 2026, the California Secretary of State Office of Voting Systems Technology
Assessment (OVSTA) received a request for administrative approval for two (2) modifications to the
Democracy Suite 5.19 voting system pursuant to California Elections Code section 19216. The
modifications are as follows:
Type Description
Update Add notification to ImageCast Central 5.19 scanner operator when the 'Stop' button is pressed.
Update Add new Batch Summary Report to ImageCast Central 5.19 scanner.
California Elections Code section 19216 precludes a voting system or part of a voting system that has
been approved by the Secretary of State from being changed or modified until the Secretary of State has
determined the change “does not impair its accuracy and efficiency….”
If the Secretary of State determines whether the change or modification does not impair the accuracy or
efficiency of the voting system, the Secretary of State may administratively approve the proposed change
or modification.
In addition, you submitted the following documents from Pro V&V:

Sincerely,
Rodney Rodriguez
