In today’s election market, Dominion sets itself apart with a commitment to customer service, convenience, and a superior use of technology to provide you with the best tools possible in solving your election challenges. Dominion has developed new election system technologies that are designed to meet future requirements while allowing our customer partners to provide the best possible experience for their voters. Dominion’s objectives are to Increase Efficiency, Uniformity, Transparency, Scalability, Accuracy and Security - while maintaining a Low Cost of Ownership. The electoral technology developed by Dominion is robust and innovative, yet easy to use – Dominion, engineered simplicity! In addition to Dominion’s unparalleled technological offering, Dominion can implement these election solutions in accordance with the State Colorado’s election code, certification requirements and the requirements of this Request for Proposal. Dominion’s proposal is based on developing and maintaining a long-term relationship with the State and each of the Counties. Dominion has the experience in implementing, training and providing continuous support for our voting solutions throughout the United State and Internationally. Dominion’s offer to the State of Colorado starts with our Democracy Suite®1 Election Management System, which handles all activities related to your election. The System produces ballots and tabulator information, and its versatility is enhanced by Dominion’s Core Technologies, Dual-Threshold Technology and the AuditMark®2. Dominion utilizes Dual- Threshold technology as a means to ensure that each and every voter’s ballot will be read the same every time no matter the tabulation method. The system has a configurable low and high threshold. If a voter marks their ballot but does not fill in the oval completely and this mark falls in the user-defined marginal mark zone, the system will inform the voter that they have a Marginal Mark and the onus of clearly defining their intent is on the voter not the Election Official. The AuditMark technology was developed by Dominion to further increase the transparency of the voting process and augment stakeholder confidence. AuditMark is the only technology that provides a clear and fully auditable single cast vote record for every ballot cast in Colorado, enabling the State to meet the 2017 Risk-Limiting Audits requirement. Dominion’s system digitally stores the ballot image and appends to the image how the tabulator read the voter’s intent. When reviewing, recounting, canvasing or performing risk-limiting audits, 1 Democracy Suite® is a registered trademark of Dominion Voting Systems Inc. 2 AuditMark® is a registered trademark of Dominion Voting Systems Inc. the ballot image with the AuditMark allows easy review of each ballot by precinct, vote center, early voting, and mailed-in ballots etc. The State and Counties have full access to these images at any time and for any use. These unique innovations set Dominion apart from all of its competitors, and provides customers with state-of-the-art technology that gives the voters confidence that the election process is fair, accurate and transparent. After careful review and analysis of the requirements of this Request for Proposal, current election statistics and the voting methodology of each of the 64 Colorado Counties, Dominion is honored to provide the State of Colorado the following offer. Dominion understands that Colorado counties are diverse in size, complexity, geography and political make up. Additionally, the State of Colorado has a desire to unify the electoral process in order to provide the citizenry fair, accurate and transparent elections. Dominion is the election partner of choice. The company is looking forward to further investing in Colorado and developing all the necessary relationships to ensure complete success, both at the individual County level and for the State. Dominion’s proposed solution is based on our understanding of the recent changes for Colorado voters. The move to Vote by Mail, along with the use of Voting Service Centers, requires a greater focus on central tabulation, and the need to provide HAVA-compliant yet flexible options for Voting Service Centers. Our solution includes, Democracy Suite (EMS), ImageCast Central with ImageCast Adjudication and the ImageCast Evolution. No matter the size or complexity of the County, Dominion is offering a system that is efficient, uniform, transparent, scalable, accurate, secure, and cost- effective, enabling the Counties to have successful elections. Each County will be equipped with Dominion’s Democracy Suite Election Management System, which is comprised of several modules to manage an election project from start to finish.
