From the meeting
0 federal standards. The current system was purchased in 2015, and staff said they anticipate upgrading at the end of 2026. Ramsey County owns the ballot-creation software and hardware, memory devices, results reporting tools, absentee voting hardware, and backup equipment.
This is a clear modernization signal, with a defined standard and near-term replacement window.

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.
