Mr. Dean Logan

Dear Mr. Logan:
The California Secretary of State's Office of Voting Systems Technology Assessment
(OVSTA) received a request for Administrative Approval from the County of Los Angeles
to make code changes to the Voting Solutions for All People (VSAP) Interactive Sample
Ballot (ISB) remote accessible vote-by-mail system. The requested changes are as
follows:
• Added languages to the RAVBM voter interaction.
• Moved Oath text and translations into configuration files to allow easier updates to
of voter facing text.
• Users will now interact with a .gov top-level domain (TLD).
California Elections Code section 19291 precludes 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... ."
The changes to the VSAP ISB 2.5.2 remote accessible vote-by-mail system were tested
and verified by our office. Additionally, we received and reviewed the change notes
submitted with your application. The changes to the system do not impair its accuracy or
efficiency pursuant to California Elections Code Section 19291.
The system has been modified, and thus warrants a version number change. With the
above-described modifications, the version number is 3.0. Based on the application,
change notes, and the testing performed, this Administrative Approval is granted for VSAP
ISB 3.0. All other conditions of the VSAP ISB 1.2 remote accessible vote by mail system
certification, dated January 29, 2020, remain in effect.
Sincerely,
Susan Lapsley
Deputy Secretary of State, HAVA and Counsel
