SERVICES
I. Summary of Services
Integrated Voting Solutions, Inc. (hereinafter "IVS") shall provide ballot printing, vote by mail
processing and vote by mail envelopes to the County of Fresno (hereinafter"County" or"Fresno
County"). Ballot Printing, vote by mail processing and vote by mail envelopes are mandated by
California Elections Code. The County currently utilizes the AccuVote ES-2000 Optical Scan
Voting System. This system uses a paper ballot with ovals to be filled in by the voter in order for
the voter's choices to be scanned/recorded by the voting system.
The ballot is printed in one of three different sizes, 8 Y/s" x 11", 8 Y2" x 14" or 8 '/2" x 18",
depending on the issues, candidates, measures, etc. on the ballot for an election. The ballots
must be printed accurately and delivered by the deadline prescribed by the County in order to
meet the election requirements. IVS shall work closely with the County in preparing the ballot
for final printing. The County will forward an electronic file to IVS with all of the ballots
separated by precinct number. The County will send a ballot order on an Excel spreadsheet to
IVS; and IVS shall send electronic file and paper copy proofs back to the County for verification
and final approval of both the order and the ballot. Paper proofs shall be on the actual ballot
paper for testing.

voters in the County. These envelopes are ordered well in advance of the election. All vote by
mail envelopes are used for the automatic, machine inserted vote by mail process. The
machine inserting process for the outgoing vote by mail process is a critical component. The
County will forward vote by mail voter data to IVS with all of the election specific and voter
specific information included. IVS shall use an inkjet machine that places the data on each of
the vote by mail reply envelopes. The ballots and any inserts shall then be inserted by machine
into the correct envelope. IVS shall use a computer program to sort the data correctly by
precinct and provide a quality control process for the insertion machines to make sure the voter
receives the correct precinct ballot for the election.

these four zones.

7. Voting Position Zones-The voting position ovals arethe marks that outline the
data area to befilled in by the voter. Red ink isto be used to printthe voting
position ovals. Although the voting positions usually follow a column, each voting

oval).

E) Non-Restricted Zones and Non-Critical Marks
1. Non-restricted Zones-Any area(s) not listed or described in'Restricted Zones and
Critical Marks'(Section 0,1-7)are considered non-restrictive zones. The

2. Specific Information on Test Ballots or Test Deck Ballots
a. Paper ballot"Test Decks" are required for testing the AccuVote Optical Scan
ballot counting equipment in Fresno County. These test decks shall be
generated and printed by IVS. For primary elections, a test deck is required for
each of the political parties. Ballots must be delivered in precinct number order.
For primary elections all party ballots must be grouped together and ordered by
precinct.
b. Logic and Accuracy Testing(5ornormax): The logic and accuracy test deck
is a test deck comprised of optical scan ballots that is used to test the logic of
precinct memory device in the AccuVote-OS or an absentee precinct using an
AccuVote-OS device in central count mode.This deck can be ordered to give a
1,2,3,4,5 pattern to candidates in a race. Forexample,ifthere are seven
candidates and a write-in—eight ovals in the race-an LAS deck would give a
1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3 pattern.This deck can be ordered with any N number ofthe
pattern.This deck can also be ordered as an"LA max"deck.In this case,the
largest number of candidates on the ballotwill define the"maximum" numberof
the pattern.Ifthere are 15 candidates,then the deckwould consist of 1 ballot
forthe 1 stcandidate,2 ballots forthe 2nd candidate,etc.,uptothe 15th
candidate, which would have 15 ballots voted for the last candidate.This deck
would have a total of 120 ballots.As the County determines that decks are
getting too large,they may use an LAS deckto si mply assign a
1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5 pattern to large candidate races.
c. Warehouse Test Deck: Warehouse test ballot deck is made up of one ballot
from every precinct in the election with the lastoval filled in,not including the
write-in position,in every contest. These shall be processed as part of the
memory card accuracy test. For primary elections,IVS shall create this deck
for each of the parties.
d. Blank and Fully-Voted Ballot Test Deck (QC Deck): An election-specific "blank"
ballot for every precinct. This ballot has no oval position marked, and is an
Integrated Voting Systems,Inc. Exhibit A-2
Ballot Printing, Vote by Mail Processing, Vote by Mail Envelopes Page 11 of 20
election-specific fully-voted ballot for every precinct. This ballot has all oval
positions marked. Write-in positions are to be included in the test pattern. For
primary elections, IVS shall create this deck for each of the parties.
e. Multi-Vote Test Deck: This deck is produced for ballot styles where multiple
votes are authorized. This tests overvotes and tabulation when the race allows
for"vote for more than one." All races that are "vote for one" are ignored in this
deck. The first ballot is the "overvote" ballot. Each race has one more prefilled
oval than allowed for the race. The next set of ballots rotates in combinations
of the number of votes allowed, e.g. with vote for three and six candidates, the
deck would produce a ballot for ovals 1,2,3 followed by 2,3,4 then 3,4,5 and
then 4,5,6; continuing on to the last oval in the race. Tabulation would be one
vote for first and last candidate,two votes for 2nd and 2nd from last,three votes
to the 3`d and 3`d from last and so on until the candidates in the middle are
receiving the maximum number of votes allowed. Write-in positions are to be
included in the test pattern.
f. Recall Measure and Candidates Contest Test Ballots: Recall elections,
conducted in accordance with California state recall rules and laws and which
include two official candidates, shall consist of a series of at least fifteen test
ballots and shall be prepared as follows—Marked "Yes" to the question only;
Marked "No" to the question only; Marked "Yes" to the question and for the first
candidate; Marked "No" to the question and for the first candidate; Marked

first and second candidate; Marked both "Yes" and "No"to the question and for
the first candidate; Marked both "Yes" and "No"to the question and for the
second candidate; Marked both"Yes" and "No"to the question and for both first
and second candidate; Marked both"Yes" and "No"to the question; Marked for
first and second candidate only; Marked for first candidate only; Marked for
second candidate only. When the recall election has more than two
candidates, additional test ballots shall be marked for each additional candidate
with a "Yes"vote and a vote for the candidate in each ballot. The third
candidate should get four ballots; the fourth should get five ballots, etc.
