Election Results Reporting

The Washington Office of the Secretary of State (OSOS) is seeking proposals from qualified vendors to modernize its election results reporting system. The current system, developed in-house 17 years ago, no longer meets modern technological standards or voter expectations. The new system is expected to be mobile-friendly, accessible, and compatible with Ranked-Choice Voting, ensuring transparency and accessibility in the electoral process. The scope of work requires the vendor to deliver a fully developed, off-the-shelf application with minor customizations. Key responsibilities include regular updates to the OSOS, retrieval of standardized election data, providing application documentation, and maintaining stable releases. Additionally, a Customer Support System must be established, offering email or phone support during business hours and 24/7 during key election periods. The contract will run from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2030, with all activities to be conducted in Washington State. The contractor will engage in joint testing, security reviews, and monitoring with OSOS personnel. This solicitation represents an opportunity to significantly upgrade the election reporting infrastructure, enhancing real-time reporting accuracy and technical support. The contract value is estimated between $500,000 and $2,000,000, reflecting the comprehensive nature of the services required to support modern electoral needs.
