Washington County Clerk/Auditor is seeking bid proposals for Election Ballot Processing, Signature Capture Automation, Equipment and Servicing.
The purpose of this request for proposal is to enter into a contract with a qualified firm to provide equipment, software, service and support to fully automate the receipt and processing of vote by mail ballots. This automation must include processing vote history, and signature capture and comparisons. The system must sort the ballots into workable batches based upon criteria such as precincts, cities, legislative districts, whether a ballot can be counted, needs review, needs ID, or is rejected. System must be able to exchange files and data with our current voter registration database (VISTA). Responses to this RFP must be able to fully automate our process outlined and if feasible, automate the removal of a privacy tab or other method to expose the voter signature for processing. And, specifically state in a separate line item the cost of this feature for County consideration. It is anticipated that this RFP may result in a contract award to a single contractor. Project must be fully implemented and tested by June 1, 2023 in time for the Municipal Primary Election in the middle of August, 2023.
Bid documents can be picked up at the Washington County Clerk’s Office starting Monday January 30 through February 28, 2023.

This morning, Rep. Travis Seegmiller notified Speaker Brad Wilson of his intent to resign from the Utah House of Representatives, effective July 1, 2022. Rep. Seegmiller and his family plan to move outside the boundaries of his current district, requiring the representative to forgo his elected position and withdraw from his current election.
“I appreciate Rep. Seegmiller’s service and accept his resignation,” said Speaker Wilson. “I wish Rep. Seegmiller and his family well in their future plans and endeavors.”
Rep. Seegmiller has represented House District 62 in Washington County since his appointment to the Utah House of Representatives in February 2018. The Washington County Republican Party will hold a special election to fill House District 62’s vacancy in the coming months.

Per Utah state law, the deadline for voters to update their party affiliation is March 31st for the 2022 Primary Election.
Partisan Primary elections are when individual political parties select the candidate that will represent their party in the November General Election. Each political party in Utah decides whether they will have an “open” primary election (open to all registered voters regardless of which party they are affiliated with) or a “closed” primary election (closed to any voter not registered with that specific party).
The following political parties will have an OPEN primary: Democratic Party, Independent American Party and the United Utah Party. Any registered voter may request to receive an OPEN primary ballot.
The following political parties will have a CLOSED primary: Constitution Party, Libertarian Party and the Republican Party. Voters must be affiliated with the CLOSED primary party to be able to receive a ballot.
If you are already affiliated with a political party that is having a primary election, you will be mailed that party’s ballot, unless you have selected another political party choice.
Not every registered voter will receive a ballot because some political parties will not need to have a Primary Election.
Additionally, if you are an UNAFFILIATED voter, a ballot will not be mailed to you. However, if you would like to participate in a primary election, you still have some options including requesting a ballot for an open primary or affiliating with one of the closed primary parties.
If you would like a ballot for an OPEN primary party, please update your ballot preference by going to www.vote.utah.gov or contacting the County Clerk’s office at elections.utah.gov or call (435) 301-7248.
If you would like a ballot for a CLOSED primary party, you will need to affiliate with that political party no later than March 31st. Your party affiliation can be updated by going to www.vote.utah.gov or in person at the county clerk’s office.
Voters may only vote in ONE primary per election cycle. We encourage everyone to double check their voter registration information to ensure their political party affiliation is correct.
