Ontario is seeking a vendor to supply a secure and modern internet and telephone voting system for the 2026 Municipal and School Board Elections. The proposed solution must address key technical, security, and reporting requirements essential for election integrity and operational efficiency.

Vendors should provide information on the solution's technical architecture and deployment options, including supported operating systems, relational databases, VMware compatibility, and associated software layers. Proposals must address service availability, performance standards, and backup and recovery capabilities. Detailed descriptions of reporting and data extraction features, as well as any supporting technologies, should be included, along with robust administration and security capabilities.

Vendors are expected to outline their compliance with data security standards, detail customer audit rights (including the use of third-party audits), and describe software troubleshooting, online help resources, and other operational supports required for effective system use.
