Voting System Testing Update

The “Voting System Testing Update” blog is an effort to keep everyone informed of the progress systems in the EAC’s Testing and Certification Program are making each week. We hope that this adds additional transparency to our process and allows stakeholders to get a weekly update about test campaigns that impact their jurisdiction.

Voting Systems under Test:

· Dominion Democracy Suite 4.14. DVS completed the revisions to the scope of this system and submitted an amended application to the EAC on December 12, 2012. The amended application was approved on December 13, 2012. Please note that this amended application included a request to change the version number from 4.9 to 4.14, which will be reflected on all documentation and references from this point on. Wyle is working on the Test Plan for this system and expects to have it to the EAC before the end of the year. If you would like to view documents related to this test campaign, please visit our website. Jessica Myers is the project manager on this test campaign.

The purpose of this blog is to share useful, innovative and practical information about voting and elections with interested parties. EAC also intends to provide this forum to host conversations with the public. EAC encourages the submission of comments from the public and hopes that interested individuals will provide submissions on a regular basis. EAC also recognizes the value of providing this forum to facilitate discussions concerning best practices, solutions, and innovative ideas in election administration.

This is a moderated blog, and EAC will exercise discretion in determining which comments it will and will not post. As a moderated blog, EAC will review all comments before posting to ensure that commenters have complied with EAC’s Blog Code of Conduct.
