Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 2, § 20153 - Technical Data Package
(a)
Prior to the initiation of any certification testing, the Secretary of State
shall receive a complete Technical Data Package. The Technical Data Package
shall include the following:
(1) Customer
maintenance documentation describing any maintenance that the vendor recommends
can be performed by a customer with minimal knowledge of the system.
(2) Operations manual(s) to be supplied to
the customer for use by the person(s) who will operate the equipment.
(3) Use procedures providing specific
election administration procedures recommended for use with the
system.
(4) Software system design
documentation describing the logical design of the software. This documentation
should clearly indicate the various modules of the software, their functions,
and their interrelationships with each other. This shall include the data
format(s) the system is capable of importing and exporting.
(5) Any available test data that can be used
to demonstrate the various functions of the electronic poll book or verify that
the version of the applications submitted are identical to the versions that
will be certified. This shall include test reports for certification of the
identical system in other jurisdictions.
(6) Security procedures documentation
containing the recommended security procedures and system hardening setting to
ensure the optimum security and functionality of the system.
(7) Training manual(s) to be supplied to the
customer for use by the person(s) that will conduct staff and poll worker
training.
(b) The vendor
must clearly mark any documentation it requests to be treated as confidential
and proprietary before providing it to the Secretary of State or its
representatives for evaluation. Marking the entire package as confidential
and/or proprietary is insufficient. All pages of the documentation that contain
information the vendor considers confidential and/or proprietary information
must be clearly marked as such.
