Dear Sarah Herman,
On Tuesday, June 16, 2026, the California Secretary of State Office of Voting Systems Technology
Assessment (OVSTA) received a request for administrative approval for one (1) modification to the EVS
6.3.0.2 voting system pursuant to California Elections Code section 19216. The modification is as follows:
Type Description
ES&S EVS voting systems upgraded power cord to UL 2464/18AWG to meet UL outer-
Upgrade
diameter limits after the 16AWG/6.5mm custom profile was discontinued by UL.
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:

Based on the application, and supporting documentation from Pro V&V, this administrative approval is
granted. All other conditions of the EVS 6.3.0.2 voting system certification, dated March 26, 2023, remain
in effect.
Sincerely,
CALIFORNIA SECRETARY OF STATE
