Utah has kicked off a review of its $100K voter outreach PR account.
Salt Lake City-based Richter7 has handled the work in the past, including the state's 2006 change over to electronic voting machines.
The work covers marketing, PR , public service advertising and other outreach for the 2014 primary and general elections in the Beehive State. Four U.S. House seats – three Republican and one Democrat -- are on the ballot in the state, along with several statewide offices.
A one-year contract with two option years is expected.
The RFP is available via the state's procurement portal, purchasing.utah.gov.
