A "voting system" means a mechanical, electromechanical, or electronic system and its software, or any combination of these used for casting a ballot, tabulating votes, or both. This includes the software that defines the election definition files, ballot layout and structure, results reporting, and event logging. "Voting system" does not include a ballot marking system.

A "ballot marking system" means a mechanical, electromechanical, or electronic system and its software that is used for the sole purpose of marking a ballot for a military or overseas voter and is not connected to a voting system at any time.

An "election management system" is an electronic system that is used by a county in California to track voter registration or voter preferences, including, but not limited to, a voter's vote-by-mail status.
