Civix Hired for Voter Registration & Election Management
On December 14, 2023, Iowa's Secretary of State official signed a 50-page, 5-year, $4.8M Agreement with Civix, a non government organization. Civix will be creating software for Election Management and replacing the aged I-Voters voter registration system.
Civix Election Platform will be hosting our voter registration database in Amazon GovCloud (see page 48 of the Agreement).
Page 8 of the Referral for Proposal (RFP), which was incorporated into the state's contract with Civix, requires that Albert Sensors be attached to the counties' election management systems and monitored by the Center for Internet Security (CIS), which is also a non government organization. This story explains how the federal government has used the Albert Sensors to monitor computer systems at the county level 365 days a year, and that CIS may be using the data for surveillance and censorship.
