[State Entity Name] Office of Secretary of State [Description of Work] OSS SVRS/ERS Staff Augmentation FY12 The Minnesota Office of Secretary of State (OSS), Computer Services (CS) division is seeking Professional/Technical Services to augment existing development staff on several active projects involving voter registration and election reporting: OSS created and deployed a new Statewide Voter Registration System (SVRS) in June of 2004, and since that time has continued to maintain and enhance the system. SVRS includes voter registration, absentee balloting, precinct and district maintenance, and other voter-related functionality. Additional features and enhancements are planned for the 2011-12 elections which will need to be substantially complete by May of 2012. SVRS is written in C#/.NET using a Microsoft SQL Server database, and deployed on a web farm. OSS developed an Election Reporting System (ERS) beginning in 2000, using Active Server Pages (ASP) and SQL Server. OSS started an upgrade project for ERS in 2009 to rewrite the application in C#/.NET using a Microsoft SQL Server database. The 2010 election used a hybrid of the re-written parts and the original ASP solution. This system is also deployed on the web farm and is responsible for ballot data creation, election night reporting, media file generation, and county reporting. An associated product is the online Polling Place Finder, which allows a voter to view polling locations and current election and ballot data. We currently employ staff to manage, design and develop these applications, but augment our development teams with consultants in order to meet short-term schedules. The focus of the projects will be to complete and deploy versions of SVRS and ERS as needed, in time for the 2011 and 2012 Election cycles. Stakeholders include OSS Management, OSS Elections Division, and OSS Computer Services. The continuing development of the Statewide Voter Registration System is a central component of the agency strategic plan, given the importance of elections in the state and recent state and federal laws. The Election Reporting System is a visible and critical part of the election process, which provides election data to the media and public [Deadline for Vendor Response] 1/11/2011 [Publication Date] 12/23/2010 [Document links]
