Subject: Approval of 2024 Orange County Supervisor of Elections Vote Processing Equipment
Use Agreement and Elections Services Contract for Municipal Elections. (City Clerk Sibbitt)
Background Summary:
The Supervisor of Elections Office submitted a contract for the March 19, 2024, General Election. The 2024
Vote Processing Equipment and Elections Services Contract for Municipal Elections is attached for your
consideration.
As adopted by Ordinance 2023-12, City staff approved allowing the Supervisor of Elections to conduct the
General Election and designated the Orange County Canvassing Board as the City Canvassing Board for that
election. City staff requests the Supervisor of Elections to open and run all vote-by-mail ballots through the
tabulator on the General Election Day and Run-off Election Day (March 19th and April 16th after 9:00 a.m.)
that are not questionable. This will save the Canvassing Board a lot of time as that portion will be completed
upon their arrival. The Canvassing Board will then only need to accept or reject any vote-by-mail ballots that
have issues with them (no signature, signatures do not match, etc.) using the Orange County Canvassing
Board Criteria.
Issue:
Should the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners approve the 2024 Orange County Supervisor of
Elections Vote Processing Equipment Use Agreement and Elections Services Contract for Municipal
Elections, and allow the Supervisor of Elections to open and run all vote-by-mail ballots through the tabulator
on Election Day that are not questionable?
Recommendations:
Staff recommends that the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners approve the 2024 Orange County
Supervisor of Elections Vote Processing Equipment Use Agreement and Elections Services Contract for
Municipal Elections, and allow the Supervisor of Elections to open and run all vote-by-mail ballots through the
tabulator on Election Day that are not questionable.

Financial Impacts:
The cost of the General Election will include legal advertisements as the City Commission approved the
General Election to coincide with the Presidential Preference Primary covered by the Orange County
Supervisor of Elections Office. Should a Run-off Election be needed, that cost is adequately funded in the City
Clerk Department’s Budget.
