Section 9(a) of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (``NVRA'') and Section 802 of the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (``HAVA'') requires the responsible agency to maintain a national mail voter registration form for U.S. citizens that want to register to vote, to update registration information due to a change of name, make a change of address or to register with a political party by returning the form to their state election office.

The U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) is publishing the Voluntary Voting System Guidelines (VVSG) Lifecycle Policy 1.0 for public comment. The intent of the VVSG Lifecycle Policy is to help facilitate migration to the new VVSG 2.0 standard by providing guidance on the types of version changes, Voting System Test Laboratory (VSTL) accreditation, deprecation of obsolete major standards, and establishing a periodic review and update timeline for new standards going forward. The policy defines changes that may be made to systems certified to deprecated standards and describes the process for updating the standards.
