California Regulations § 20611 Reasons for Placing Source Code into Escrow

⤴ Up to Article 1: General Purpose

Regulation Text

Voting system source code(s), ballot marking system source code(s), and election management system source code(s) (hereinafter: 'source code') shall be placed in escrow in order to:
(a) Protect and enhance the integrity of elections;
(b) Create a record of all versions, including changes or modifications of the source code materials placed in escrow;
(c) Create a record of all applications for access to the source code materials placed in escrow; and
(d) Unless otherwise superseded by a contract between a vendor and an election jurisdiction, preserve the necessary source code information to permit the election jurisdiction to continue the use and maintenance of the source code in the event the vendor is unable, or otherwise fails, to provide maintenance. At no time shall this be construed as a way for either the vendor or the county to violate a contractual obligation to gain access to source code.
