From the meeting
At its September 3, 2026 retreat, Elections Commissioner Todd Wiltgen reported that Lancaster County continues to carry a heavy burden in verifying petition signatures and had spent nearly $80,000 in two months on temporary staffing. He said the NACO Election Law Committee is considering changes to signature distribution thresholds, and more proposals may come from the Secretary of State's office later in the year. The board asked to be kept informed as the discussion progresses.
This is a current operations and staffing pressure, not a purchase decision yet.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will Lancaster County issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Lancaster County's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with Lancaster County before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account unlocks this pre-RFP's source document, forecasted RFP timing, and verified Lancaster County decision-maker contacts.
