Dear Mr. Nevarez,
On Monday, September 30, 2024, the California Secretary of State Office of Voting
Systems Technology Assessment (OVSTA) received a request for administrative approval
for one (1) modification to the Los Angeles County Voting Solution for All People (VSAP)
Interactive Sample Ballot (ISB) 3.0 remote accessible vote by mail (RAVBM) system
pursuant to California Elections Code section 19291. A modification was made to improve
the display of contest names within the system, ensuring compatibility with the following
languages: Bengali, Gujarati, Telugu, Indonesian, Mongolian, and Burmese.
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….”
If the Secretary of State determines 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, an Election Assistance
Commission certified Voting System Testing Laboratory:
Letter Report – Rev1- VSAP 3.2.1
The system has been modified, and thus warrants a version number change. With the
above-described modifications, the version number is 3.2.1. Based on the application,
testing performed by the Secretary of State, and supporting documentation from Pro V&V,
this administrative approval is granted. All other conditions of the Los Angeles County
VSAP ISB 1.2 remote accessible vote by mail system certification, dated January 29, 2020,
remain in effect.
Sincerely,
NaKesha Robinson
Deputy Secretary of State, HAVA
