Achieve WCAG 2.1 Compliance for Public Digital Portals
Web Accessibility · Digital Services Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The agency faces a firm April 2027 mandate to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, but current public-facing portals and digital filing platforms remain non-compliant. A fragmented dual-platform filing environment compounds accessibility gaps, elevating legal exposure and undermining public accountability in campaign finance reporting.
The opportunity
The April 2027 deadline creates a near-term, non-negotiable window for action, and the agency's active modernization initiative for electronic filing aligns procurement and project timelines. Cooperative procurement vehicles are available, offering a streamlined path to contract and reducing time-to-compliance.

About this project
The campaign-finance filing system experienced a high-profile failure during the early 2026 deadline, delaying candidate filings and exposing significant reliability and public accountability risks. Fragmented filing channels across two separate platforms, combined with a WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance mandate due by April 2027, compound operational and legal exposure for the agency.
The opportunity
A strategic modernization initiative is already underway, creating a timely window to consolidate platforms, close compliance gaps, and restore public trust. The reinstatement of a PAC registration fee introduces a new internal revenue stream, and statewide technology budget investments may offer additional funding pathways to advance this work within the current fiscal cycle.

Cybersecurity · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
The agency is transitioning away from its incumbent password management solution to a more robust credential security platform, driven by compliance mandates and cybersecurity posture requirements. A recent system reliability incident during a high-profile filing deadline exposed data integrity risks, elevating urgency for stronger access controls.
The opportunity
An active procurement window is open now, with cooperative purchasing vehicles available to streamline acquisition and reduce administrative burden. Addressing this gap aligns with the agency's broader modernization effort and reduces operational and compliance risk within the current planning cycle.

Emergency Management · Operational Continuity
High Priority
About this project
No documented Emergency Operations Plan or mass-notification system exists for this election oversight agency, leaving staff and public communications unprotected during incidents. A high-profile system failure during a peak 2026 filing period exposed the operational resilience gap and the absence of structured incident communication protocols.
The opportunity
The 2026 filing incident has elevated leadership awareness of continuity risk, creating a near-term window to address foundational preparedness gaps before the next election cycle. Statewide technology investment priorities and cooperative procurement vehicles may offer accessible pathways to fund and implement a compliant, scalable solution.
