AI Contract Overview

The Maryland State Board of Elections (SBE) is seeking information from vendors regarding solutions for ballot duplication to support statewide elections. Currently, the SBE provides mail-in ballots through an in-house developed online delivery system that allows voters to electronically mark their choices on an 8 ½ x 11-inch document, which is then printed without a QR code for mailing. During the canvassing process, these ballots are duplicated onto certified 17-inch ballot paper at local board of elections (LBE) facilities. The primary goal is to identify available or planned ballot duplication solutions that can accurately and efficiently transfer voter selections from the smaller, electronically marked ballots onto larger ballots that are compatible with ES&S DS200 and DS850 scanning machines. The solutions should ensure the duplicated ballots are scannable and maintain the integrity of voter choices, facilitating a smooth and reliable election process. The RFI is part of Maryland’s planning efforts and is not an official solicitation, with a response deadline set for May 7, 2025. The contract associated with this initiative is estimated to be valued between $500,000 and $2 million, and it falls under NAICS code 323111. The Maryland State Board of Elections, based in Maryland, is the contracting organization, with Whitney Leroux serving as the primary contact. Interested vendors can find additional information and submit responses through the provided online portal.
