Voting System Testing Update 4.17.12

We are trying something new on Tuesdays, so let us know what you think!  The EAC will post a “Voting System  Testing Update” blog every Tuesday in 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 recently decided to add memory cards to the test campaign due to a request from a jurisdiction, so SLI Global Solutions (Voting System Test Laboratory) is revising the Test Plan and will conduct testing on the memory cards at the request of the manufacturer. Upon completion of this testing, the draft Test Report will be revised and resubmitted to the EAC.
