Civix Hired for New Voter Reg & Election Management Software
Civix, a non government organization, is in the process of creating software for Election Management and replacing the aged I-Voters voter registration system.
Civix will be hosting Iowa's statewide voter registration database on Amazon GovCloud (see page 48 of the Agreement).
Page 8 of the Request for Proposal (RFP), which was incorporated into the state's Agreement with Civix, requires that Albert Sensors be attached to the counties' election management systems and be monitored by the Center for Internet Security (CIS), also a non government organization. This story explains how Albert Sensors allow access to election records across all 50 states.
Who owns Unisyn Voting Systems?
Iowa is using Unisyn voting systems in 72 out of 99 counties.
An August 12, 2025 post on X/Twitter by independent journalist, Peter Bernegger, states that Unisyn voting systems is owned by a gambling company out of Malaysia.
In 2017 the U.S. elections were declared to be critical infrastructure. A 2019 Presidential Executive Order #13873 requires that critical infrastructure not be subject to the influence of foreign powers.
