SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Purpose: In accordance with the
Government in the Sunshine Act
(Sunshine Act), Public Law 94–409, as
amended (5 U.S.C. 552b), the U.S.
Election Assistance Commission (EAC)
will conduct a virtual annual meeting of
the EAC Standards Board to discuss the
proposed Voluntary Voting System
Guidelines (VVSG) 2.0 Requirements as
submitted by the Technical Guidelines
Development Committee (TGDC).
Agenda: The U.S. Election Assistance
Commission (EAC) Standards Board
will hold their 2020 Annual Meeting
primarily to discuss the proposed VVSG
2.0 Requirements. This meeting will
include a question and answer
discussion between board members.
Staff from NIST and the EAC will be
available to answer questions, and
provide information on the VVSG
process and the proposed VVSG 2.0
Requirements.
Board members will also review
FACA Board membership guidelines
and policies with EAC Associate
Counsel and receive a general update
about the EAC from the Executive
Director. The Board will also elect a
new member to the Executive Board
Committee and consider amendments to
the Bylaws.
Background: The VVSG 2.0
Requirements were published for a 90day public comment period that
concluded on June 22, 2020. The first
VVSG public hearing on March 27, 2020
covered an introduction to the VVSG
process as well a high-level overview of
the proposed VVSG 2.0 requirements. A
recording of the hearing is available on
the EAC’s website. The second public
hearing on May 6, 2020 addressed the
importance of VVSG 2.0 at the state and
local level, and the consideration of
accessibility and security in VVSG 2.0.
A recording of the second hearing is
available on the EAC’s website. The
third public hearing on May 20, 2020
included discussions with voting
system manufacturers and voting system
testing labs. A recording of the third
hearing is available on the EAC’s
website. The EAC Board of Advisors
held their annual meeting to discuss the
VVSG 2.0 on June 16, 2020. A recording
of the hearing is available on the EAC’s
website.

The TGDC unanimously approved to
recommend VVSG 2.0 Requirements on
February 7, 2020, and sent the
Requirements to the then EAC Acting
Executive Director via the Director of
the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST), in the capacity of
the Chair of the TGDC on March 9,
2020. Upon adoption, the VVSG 2.0
would become the fifth iteration of
national level voting system standards.
The Federal Election Commission
published the first two sets of federal
standards in 1990 and 2002. The EAC
then adopted Version 1.0 of the VVSG
on December 13, 2005. In an effort to
update and improve version 1.0 of the
VVSG, on March 31, 2015, the EAC
commissioners unanimously approved
VVSG 1.1.
The full agenda will be posted in
advance on the EAC website: https://
www.eac.gov.
Status: This hearing will be open to
the public.
