SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background. HAVA requires that the
EAC certify and decertify voting
systems. Section 231(a)(1) of HAVA (42
U.S.C. 15371) specifically requires the
EAC to ‘‘* * * provide for the testing,
certification, decertification and
recertification of voting system
hardware and software by accredited
laboratories.’’ To meet this obligation,
the EAC has created a voluntary
program to test voting systems to
Federal voting system standards. The
Voting System Testing and Certification
Manual, published below, will set the
procedures for this program.
In creating the Certification Manual in
2006 the EAC sought input from experts
and stakeholders. Specifically, the EAC
conducted meetings with
representatives from the voting system
test laboratory and voting system
manufacturing community. The
Commission also held a public hearing
in which it received testimony from
State election officials, the National
Institute of Standards and Technology,
academics, electronic voting system
experts and public interest groups.
Finally, the EAC sought input from the
public.
EAC is required to resubmit the
Testing and Certification Manual for
renewal in accordance with Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 requirements.
The Testing and Certification Division
has updated sections of the manual to
reflect proposed changes in certification
procedures. These sections are
highlighted for ease of review.
Comments. Please submit comments
consistent with the information below.
Comments should identify and cite the
section of the manual at issue. Where a
substantive issue is raised, please
propose a recommended change or
alternative policy.
