S N.W Ph.D.| HIRLEY EBER, SECRETARY OF STATE | STATE OF CALIFORNIA 1500 11th Street, Room 495 | Sacramento, CA 95814 | Tel 916.653.6224 | Fax 916.653.5045 | www.sos.ca.gov August 21, 2021 Aaron Nevarez Los Angeles County 12400 Imperial Highway, Norwalk, California 90650 Dear Mr. Nevarez, The California Secretary of State’s Office of Voting Systems Technology Assessment (OVSTA) has received a request for Administrative Approval from Los Angeles County. The application and supporting documentation describe a modification to the Voting Solutions for All People (VSAP) Interactive Sample Ballot (ISB) remote accessible vote by mail system. The update is to the user interface by adding a “search feature” for contests with multiple candidate name selections. California Elections Code section 19291 precludes a remote accessible vote by mail system or part of a remote accessible vote by mail 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 the change or modification does not impair the accuracy or efficiency of the remote accessible vote by mail system, the Secretary of State may administratively approve the proposed change or modification. Based on the application, the testing conducted by our office of the VSAP ISB RAVBM system, the testing report provided by SLI, and an analysis of the documentation provided by Los Angeles County, this Administrative Approval is granted. The system has been modified, and thus warrants a version number change. With the above- described modification, the version number is 2.5.2. All other conditions of the VSAP ISB 1.2 remote accessible vote by mail system certification, dated January 29, 2020, remain in effect. /s/ Susan Lapsley Deputy Secretary of State, HAVA & Counsel
