SUBJECT: June 5, 2018 Statewide Direct Primary Election – Overview
November 6, 2018 Statewide General Election – Update
BACKGROUND
I am pleased to report that the June 5, 2018 Statewide Direct Primary Election conducted under the California Voter’s Choice Act (VCA) was successfully implemented and well received by the voters of our county. The new All-Mailed Ballot/Vote Center Election model increased voter participation for all voters and expanded accessibility to the electoral process for voters with disabilities and language minorities.
In this report, we will provide an overview of the June 5, 2018 Statewide Direct Primary Election and share with you our recommendations for proposed amendments to the county’s Election Administration Plan for the November 6, 2018 Statewide General Election. The report will also review the upcoming November 6, 2018 Statewide General Election, which is projected to be a much larger and more complex election, as more jurisdictions move to even-numbered year elections under SB 415 (California Voter Participation Rights Act) and the full impact of new election laws begin to take hold.

DISCUSSION
VCA Counties – Statewide Comparisons
San Mateo County, along with Sacramento, Madera, Napa and Nevada Counties, were the first counties in the State of California to conduct elections under the VCA. All of the VCA counties experienced impressive results with voter turnout rates significantly higher than the statewide average of 37%, the highest statewide voter turnout percentage in a midterm primary since 1998. Nevada County reported the highest voter turnout in the state at 60%. San Mateo County’s voter turnout, at 44.34%, was the largest percentage increase (17%) of any county in the state since the 2014 primary election.

VCA Community Engagement
The successful implementation of the California Voter’s Choice Act in San Mateo County was directly attributable to the many hours of planning and active involvement of our diverse communities. Special recognition must be given to the county’s Voting Accessibility Advisory Committee (VAAC), the Language Accessibility Advisory Committee (LAAC), our Voter Education and Outreach Advisory Committee (VEOAC), and over 100 community partners that took an active role in the preparation and implementation of this election. These citizen volunteers provided essential input in the preparation of the county’s Election Administration Plan (EAP), our detailed roadmap for the execution of the VCA. The successful conduct of this election could not have occurred without the active involvement of these volunteers and the critical support provided by our City and Town Clerks

A special thanks must also go to the Secretary of State’s Office and Secretary of State Alex Padilla, whose leadership led to the passage of the VCA. Secretary Padilla visited San Mateo County on two separate occasions, meeting with hundreds of Sequoia Union High School students on the importance of civic engagement and meeting with residents at the Doelger Senior Center in Daly City to encourage voter registration and active involvement in the election.

Most importantly, the success of the election could not have been possible without the Board’s ongoing leadership and support for increasing voting opportunities and accessibility for all San Mateo County voters. Your early support of All-Mailed Ballot/Vote Center Elections clearly established San Mateo County as a leader in elections in the State of California, shaping the future of elections statewide for generations to come.

June 5, 2018 Primary Election Overview
The June 2018 Election was a relatively large election that saw the convergence of several new state laws, legislative mandates and new technologies designed to increase voter participation and accessibility. Four Vote Centers were opened in North, Central and South county 29 days before the election. 28 Ballot Drop-Off Locations were established during the early voting period for voters to conveniently drop off their ballots. Two Roving Vote Centers were opened on Election Day in rural areas of the county and a Mobile Vote Center, for voters with specific needs, was available on an appointment basis throughout the early voting period and on Election Day. Below are some of the highlights of the June 5 Primary Election.

Drop-off Locations strategically placed throughout the county. Below is a summary of our Vote Center and Ballot Drop-off Locations.
• 30-Day Vote Centers: 4
• 11-Day Vote Centers: 9
• 4-Day Vote Centers: 39
• Hours of Operation: 9 AM to 5 PM (Election Day - 7 AM to 8 PM)
• Roving Vote Centers: 2
• Mobile Vote Center:1
• 29-Day Ballot Drop-off Locations: 28
• Vote Center Representatives: 138
• Total Extra Help Staff: 260

This election saw a total of 39 Vote Centers distributed throughout the county with at least one Vote Center located in each municipality. Four (4) of these Vote Centers were opened 29 days prior to Election Day, five (5) additional Vote Centers opened 10 days prior to the election and thirty (30) Vote Centers were added three days prior to Election Day. Two additional Roving Vote Centers were opened on Election Day in rural areas of the county, and a Mobile Vote Center for voters with specific needs was available on an appointment basis throughout the early voting period and on Election Day. A total of 389 eSlate voting machines were deployed in the 39 Vote Centers, including 117 Disabled Access Units (DAU) eSlates (three per Vote Center).

Vote Centers were highly utilized on Election Day by voters seeking a variety of services such as Conditional Voter Registration, replacement of soiled or lost ballots, dropping off ballots and receiving general information. Over 30,000 voters visited the 4-Day Vote Centers on Election Day and the three days preceding. Only 7% (12,637) of the total ballots cast were at Vote Centers, with 92.7% (159,531) cast as Vote by Mail. Of the 159,531 VBM ballots cast, 70,134 (44%) were received on Election Day and the three days thereafter. The large numbers of ballots coming in late impacted the reporting of election results and will require operational adjustments to manage the large volume of ballots anticipated for the November Election.
Finally, while Vote Center statistics indicate that Vote Centers were under-utilized during the first 26 days of the voting period, Vote Centers played a vital role in providing voter services, essential information and materials to all voters during the June 2018 voting period.

Vote Center/VCA Election Technology
The June 5, 2018 Statewide Primary Election brought together a combination of old and new election technology to meet the requirements of the VCA All-Mailed Ballot/Vote Center Election model. The county’s existing state certified voting systems, including the HART InterCivic Voting Tabulation System and the Pitney Bowes VBM Mail Sorter, while reaching the end of their useful life, functioned well but needed maintenance and support throughout the election period. We have commenced the process of evaluating the replacement of the Pitney Bowes VBM Mail Sorter this year as a backup to our existing system, and we are in the process of preparing an RFI for the replacement of our voting tabulation system in 2019.

Voting System Replacement Funding
The State Budget includes a one-time augmentation of $134.3 million of General Fund monies to support the purchase of all necessary hardware, software, and initial licensing for the replacement of voting systems and technology. San Mateo County has been allocated $2,474,000 as its share of the state funding. The funding represents a 50 percent state share of total voting system replacement costs.
These funds are intended to assist counties with voting systems nearing the end of their useful life and to assist those counties that are moving toward a Vote Center Election Model under the VCA.
Our preliminary estimates indicate that implementing the County’s new voting systems and technology infrastructure will be in the range of $5 million, depending on the systems and security infrastructure selected.

New Laptops and “Cradlepoint” Connections
The Vote Center model required that each Vote Center have real time access to the county’s Voter Registration system in order for Vote Center staff to verify the voting status of each voter. ACRE IT Department System Analysts worked closely with ISD to purchase and configure Cradlepoint devices that created secure Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections from each Vote Center location to the county’s Voter Registration system. Once the connection was established, the 210 newly purchased laptops were connected and used to look up each voter with a new web-based application, from our voter registration vendor, DFM Associates.

Runbeck On Demand Ballot System
The Runbeck On Demand Ballot System was deployed for the purpose of enabling Vote Center staff to print a specific ballot style for any voter who visits a Vote Center. Without a state-of-the-art On Demand Ballot System, pre-printed paper ballots for all ballot styles would have to be purchased for each Vote Center, which is highly inefficient and costly. The use of the On Demand Ballot System improved efficiency and eliminated the cost of purchasing pre-printed ballots.

Accessible Vote by Mail System (AVBM)
San Mateo County was the first county in the state to deploy an Accessible Vote by Mail System for voters with disabilities. The Accessible Vote by Mail System allows a voter with disabilities or a military/overseas voter to mark a ballot in a screen reader compatible format on any computer with an internet connection. The ballot is then printed out and returned to the Elections Office. Over 40 such ballots were returned during this election, a 150% increase over the November 2017 Election.

Elections Website Enhancements
The new Elections interactive website was improved to prominently feature the most requested content and better align with voters’ terminology. The website also expanded the number of live chat features to meet election day traffic volume. A text number was also provided for live chat and easier mobile access.
For the upcoming November Election, a new home page banner has been prominently placed to direct voters to election results. An “SMC Vote” landing page has been developed with its own URL (www.smcvote.org) and a link to the webpage for voters to easily access elections information. This will facilitate access to information provided on our Voter Education and Outreach materials such as flyers, brochures and notices.

Elections Security
As we reported to the Board earlier this year, the resiliency and success of our cyber defense systems depends on a well-coordinated, multi-organizational effort employing the very best cyber defense technologies. One of our most important initiatives this year in the area of bolstering our cyber defenses, has been the engagement of cyber security consultant StratumPoint to perform security and validation testing on our Election Information Management System (EIMS). At the state and federal levels, the Department of Homeland Security and the Secretary of State’s Office have been working with counties on cyber incident planning, preparedness, identification, response, and risk management best practices.

Tower Road Facility Improvements
The Tower Road Elections Facility was originally constructed in 1963 and over the years has become functionally obsolete in meeting the operational needs of today’s Elections statutory requirements and the California Voter’s Choice Act. In cooperation with the Department of Public Works Capital Projects Unit, a plan was developed in 2016 to remodel and retrofit the Tower Road Facility at an approximate cost of $16 million. In Fiscal Year 2018-19, $3 million has been allocated in the Capital Projects Program to begin a phased approach of remodeling the facility’s Vote By Mail Area and Record Storage Areas, to accommodate the replacement of the Pitney Bowes Olympus Mail Sorter and VBM operations in the new area of the facility.
The Department has been advised to request funding for the balance of the Tower Road Facility Improvements in the FY 2019-21 Capital Improvement Program. However, immediate funding is essential in order to meet our goal of completing the improvements for the November 2020 Presidential Election.

Voter Education and Outreach
One of the most important requirements of the Voter’s Choice Act is the development of a comprehensive Voter Education and Outreach Plan to inform voters on all aspects of the VCA. The county’s Voter Education and Outreach Plan was prepared in consultation with our community based organizations and partners. The plan implemented an extensive media campaign, with direct postcard mailings, brochures, flyers and posters printed in three languages for outreach and education events. Advertisements were purchased on six Bay Area radio stations, six Bay Area television stations, 11 local newspapers and one local magazine. Digital advertisements targeting San Mateo County voters ran on six websites (YouTube, Facebook, KTVU, KCBS, Univision, and MercuryNews.com). One hundred thousand targeted emails and 517,192 targeted mobile phone advertisements were sent as part of our outreach efforts.

The Voter Education and Outreach Program was allocated $500,000 in the FY 2017-18 for this effort. The county will be reimbursed $58,000 by the Secretary of State under SB 117 for its voter education and outreach services. The county will also be reimbursed an additional $20,000 from the Secretary of State’s Office under Section 251 of the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) for administrative related activities.
For the upcoming November Election, $450,000 was allocated in FY 2018-19 Budget for the Vote Education and Outreach Program.

June 5, 2018 Statewide Primary Election Costs
The total costs for the June 2018 election were $4,559,774. The county will receive
reimbursable costs of $770,000 from jurisdictions participating in the election, resulting in a net county cost of $3,789,774 for the June 2015 election. This amount is $1,089,774 over the $2,700,000 net county cost estimated two and a half years ago in preparation for the FY 2017-19 budget cycle, before a decision had been made to participate in the Voter’s Choice Act.

The actual to estimated cost differential is due to the combination of several factors and budget adjustments that converged during the June 2018 election. Below is a brief summary of these election cost factors.
New Election Laws and Statutory Requirements
• SB 415 California Voter Participation Rights Act (Even-Numbered Year Elections)
• AB 1436 Conditional Voter Registration Law
• AB 1461 DMV Motor Voter Law
• AB 2252 Remote Accessible Vote-By-Mail System
• SB 450 California Voter’s Choice Act
• 38 Chaptered Bills were signed by the Governor in 2017 impacting Election Operations
Technology
• Accessible Vote by Mail System (California Council of the Blind/ADA Compliance)
• Accessible Sample Ballot System
• Runbeck Ballot On-Demand System
• DFM Vote Center Application
• Cradlepoint secure modem/routers
• GIS – New Precinct Layer
• VoteCal
• California Online Voter Registration (COVR)
• Conditional Voter Registration (CVR)
• Cybersecurity Defense Systems
Vote Centers
• Vote Center Days – 212 Vote Center Days under VCA, as compared to 32 Vote Center Days under our AB 2028 Pilot Election in 2015
• Increased Labor Costs: County Employee Wages paid to Vote Center Representatives, as compared to Poll Worker Stipend paid to Polling Place Workers
• Onboarding and Training Costs
All-Mailed Ballot/VBM Processing
• Increased Labor Costs
• Increased Printing Costs
• Increased Postage Costs
• Larger Official Ballots

District Elections
Five jurisdictions in San Mateo County transitioned to district elections, with more jurisdictions considering the move in future election cycles. When jurisdictions move from at-large elections to multiple district elections, the transition amounts to an increase in jurisdictional boundaries and an additional administrative burden. District elections result in more ballot styles, longer ballots, increased Geographical Information System (GIS) tasks, and additional complexities for tracking and monitoring activities.

RECOMMENDATIONS
The June 2018 Election provided San Mateo County a unique perspective on the administration of an All-Mailed Ballot/Vote Center Election with Ballot Drop-off Locations. The June and November 2018 elections have been referred to by many as “pilot elections” for the purpose of testing and improving the new election model. San Mateo and all of the VCA counties have pioneered a new road in California elections. This invaluable experience will be taken into the November 2018 election.

Below you will find recommendations that have been developed by staff and our community partners to improve the efficiency of the new election model. Those recommendations that have been asterisked will be incorporated as changes to the Election Administration Plan (EAP).

• Vote Center Locations* - New Vote Centers are being identified to replace previous Vote Centers due to a variety of factors, including difficulties in securing consent of the owner, desirability of the location, and accessibility and size of the facility. Those new Vote Center locations include: Bayshore Community Center, Room 125; Jefferson Union High School District, Galleria; William E. Walker Recreation Center, Art Gallery; Millbrae Community Center; Farallone View School; and Terrabay Gymnasium & Recreation Center, Foyer.
Additionally, new rooms have been identified in the following existing Vote Centers: Skyline College, Building 19, Room 213 and Arrillaga Family Recreation Center, Multipurpose Room.

As of the writing of this report, the Redwood City Community Activities Building has been tentatively confirmed as a Vote Center with a room change.

• Vote Center Hours* - It is proposed that Vote Center hours be increased by one hour in each of the three days before Election Day. The objective is to alleviate the pressure caused by same-day conditional voter registration on Election Day and the large volume of voters showing up at the polls.
• Ballot Drop-off Locations* – Provide additional exterior Ballot Drop-off Boxes at City Hall and selected locations
• EAP clarifying language* – Provide clarifying language in the EAP for assisting voters with disabilities, AVBM replacement ballots, Election Security and Roving Voting (which will be known moving forward as “Pop-up Voting”).
• Vote Center Curbside Ballot Drop-off - Provide curbside ballot drop off boxes for certain high use Vote Center locations
• Vote Center Signage and Flags - For better visibility and directions
• Vote Center Representatives “Leads” – A Vote Center Representative “Lead” will be assigned to each Vote Center for customer service and incident response purposes.
• Vote Center Staffing/Focused Deployment - Staff deployment at each Vote Center will be based on statistical usage compiled during the June Election.
• Poll Workers - Traditional poll workers and students will be used at Vote Centers as greeters for line management and customer service activities.
• Vote Center Staff Training - Increase number of hours of technical training and provide additional materials at Vote Centers for staff and the public.
• Encourage Early Voting - Utilizing various media and direct contact to encourage early voting by mail and at Vote Centers.
• Increase Field Technician Teams - To assist Vote Centers with immediate technical assistance to troubleshoot voting equipment incidents, by assigning technicians to designated service areas in the county.
California Civic Engagement Project Research Study
The California Civic Engagement Project, a non-partisan research center located at the University of Southern California, has been retained to conduct a research study on the implementation of the California Voter’s Choice Act (VCA) in San Mateo County during the June 2018 Primary Election.

The study is designed and led by Dr. Mindy S. Romero, Director of the California Civic Engagement Project (CCEP). Dr. Romero is a political sociologist with extensive experience studying voter participation in California elections and presently serves on the Secretary of State’s California Voter’s Choice Act Task Force. The goal of the study is to provide critical insight to voters and elected officials on the benefits and challenges of the new All-Mailed Ballot/Vote Center Election model. An overview of the research study will be presented to the Board in October 2018.

November 6, 2018 Statewide General Election
The November 6, 2018 Statewide General Election is shaping up to be one of the largest elections ever held in the county as more jurisdictions move to even-numbered year elections and the impact of new election laws begin to take full effect. The size and the scope of the November election will result in a three-card ballot with 60 local jurisdictions participating and 159 open seats, as compared to ten jurisdictions and 19 open seats in the June Primary. There are 222 qualified local candidates and 29 local measures on the November ballot. The election will serve 492 precincts with 122 ballot styles.
November Election Statistics
• Eligible Voters: 506,481
• Registered Voters: 384,683
• Vote Centers – 39
• Ballot Styles – 122 (Estimate)
• Total Precincts – 492
Participating Jurisdictions and Contests
• Participating Local Jurisdictions – 60
• Open Seats – 159
• Qualified Local Candidates – 222
• Local Measures – 29

Appendix C provides a complete list of all candidates and measures for the November Election.

FISCAL IMPACT
Cost Estimate for November Election
It is estimated that the total election costs for the upcoming November 2018 election will run in the neighborhood of $5,679,682. A 10% plus or minus variable factor is prudent given potential operational challenges that can impact labor costs and materials. These are total election costs which vary depending on the number of registered voters, number of jurisdictions participating and other factors such as printing and postage charges.

The estimated total election costs of $5,679,682 will be reduced by reimbursable expenses from participating jurisdictions. Expenses reimbursed to the county are estimated to be approximately 66% ($3,759,619) of the total election costs. The reason for the high reimbursable rate is primarily two-fold. First, there is a large number of jurisdictions that are participating in the November General Election under SB 415. Second, the county does not have a countywide measure or vacant seat on the ballot. As a result, the net county cost will be significantly reduced.

A very important qualifier: Elections costs are difficult to estimate since no two elections are alike, with costs and the number of registered voters varying considerably from election to election. Additionally, there is very little historical cost experience for conducting All-Mailed Ballot/Vote Center Elections under the Voter’s Choice Act that can be drawn upon to precisely estimate future election expenditures.

Appendix D provides a summary of the cost estimate for the November 6, 2018 Statewide General Election expenditures.
