|Description: |The purpose of this use case is to enable Aa user (voter) of the VoteCal Public Website to enter preliminary qualifying |
| |information in order to registers to vote online. |
|Actors: |Public User |
|Trigger: |A voter can use the VoteCal Public Website to: |
| |Register to vote for the first time. |
| |Change their voter address. |
| |Update other information regarding their voter registration, such as their political party affiliation. |
| | |
| |There may be alternative entry points to the VoteCal “Register to Vote Online” page. Voters may be redirected to this page |
| |from external websites such as SOS, counties, universities, other CA agencies, etc. |
|System: |VoteCal Public Website |
|Preconditions: |All global preconditions apply. |
|Post conditions: |A State Voter Work in Progress (WIP) record and its subordinate records will be created or updated with the data entered by |
| |the user in the online registration process. |
| |A Local Voter record will be created on the local integrated EMS database that has the same data as the State Voter record |
| |that was created or updated through the online registration process. |
| |All global post conditions apply. |
|Normal Flow: |User goes to the VoteCal Public Website. |
| |System presents UI10.xxx VoteCal Public Website Splash Screen. |
| |User selects “Register to Vote/Update my Voter Registration”. |
| |System presents UI10.xxx Voter Registration screen. |
| |System generates CAPTCHA image and characters. |
| |User answers questions regarding basic eligibility to vote, including: |
| |Are you a U.S. Citizen? |
| |What is your birth date? |
| |Are you a resident of California? |
| |Are you in prison or on parole for a felony conviction? |
| |Have you been judged by a court to be mentally incompetent? |
| |System validates that the user is eligible to vote according to business rules based on the provided information. |
| |System displays the next data entry screen (or screen part) and Public User proceeds with entering information (* |
| |required): |
| |Legal Name – First Name*, Middle Name, Last Name* |
| |Prefix – Mr./Mrs./Ms./Miss |
| |Date of Birth* |
| |California Driver’s License Number/State ID (DL/ID)* |
| |SSN4* |
| |Characters shown in the CAPTCHA image* |
| |User selects “Next” to proceed with the voter registration process. (User will later proceed to UC10.02.02 – Submit Online |
| |Voter Registration) |
| |System creates a work-in-progress (WIP) voter record for the information entered, and then validates user input. |
| |Proceed to UC01.25.02 – Run IDV for Online Registration. (If ID is successfully verified by IDV process, user will proceed |
| |to UC10.02.02 – Submit Online Voter Registration) |
|Alternative Flows: |N/A |
|Exceptions: |4a. DMV IDV Service is unavailable |
| |4a.1 System presents error message to user stating that they cannot proceed with online voter registration due to the DMV |
| |IDV Service being unavailable, and advise them to try at a later time. |
| |4a.2 End of the use case. |
| |5a. As soon as the user provides an answer that would cause them to be ineligible to vote, the system immediately presents |
| |an appropriate error message. User is unable to proceed with the online voter registration process. |
| |5a.1 End of the use case. |
|Includes: |UC01.25.02 – Run IDV for Online Registration |
|Frequency of Use: |TBD. |
|Business Rules: |CAPTCHA characters entered by the user must match the generated CAPTCHA. |
| |According to EC§2196, online voter registration requires that the voter provide a California Driver’s License or State ID |
| |(DL/ID) that is verified by the IDV process as a match. SSN4 will not suffice. |
| |The DMV Signature Interface does not currently exist. The Catalyst team will work with the DMV to define the interface. A |
| |transactional interface, if feasible, would be preferred over a batch interface. |
| |Need to determine what safeguards are needed to prevent this feature from violating privacy or being misused while still |
| |making it useful. |
| |SOS needs to perform a legal check on whether the SSN4 is required or not. The statute (EC§2196) seems to require it. Note, |
| |however, that the voter needs to have a valid DL/ID in order to register to vote online. |
|Assumptions: |We SOS needs to be somewhat restrictive with online voter registration to minimize potential fraudulent use. |
|Notes and Issues: |The DMV Signature Interface does not currently exist. The Catalyst team will work with the DMV to define the interface. A |
| |transactional interface, if feasible, would be preferred over a batch interface. |
| |Need to determine what safeguards are needed to prevent this feature from violating privacy or being misused while still |
| |making it useful. |
| |We need to find a CAPTCHA solution that is acceptable to SOS in terms of features, pricing, support, etc. |
| |SOS needs to perform a legal check on whether the SSN4 is required or not. The statute (EC§2196) seems to require it. Note, |
| |however, that the voter needs to have a valid DL/ID in order to register to vote online. |
| |The work-in-progress (WIP) record for a failed or rejected online voter registration may be persisted in the system for some|
| |time for reporting and tracking purposes. |
| |How can we automatically determine a voter’s county? Voters don’t always know it. Is this something we can retrieve from the|
| |DMV? From a CASS service? |
| |Per SOS, Political Party field will need to allow for Qualified Political Parties, Political Bodies Attempting |
| |Qualification, and Other. Discussion needed to determine if this is a drop down feature for standardization, etc. |
| |For Step 13.1, should we populate this with all Political Parties in the system – qualified, attempting to qualify, and |
| |non-qualified – or limit this to qualified parties?N/A |
