Watch the March 11 public meeting on the Election Operations Assessment here [6].
The Election Operations Assessment project was undertaken by EAC to produce a scientifically-founded risk assessment tool that will facilitate informed decision making by EAC and its Technical Guidelines Development Committee (TGDC) when developing voluntary voting system guidelines. Learn more about the project by reading our frequently asked questions [8].
Four voting systems have been federally certified through EAC's testing and certification program. Those systems include the Unisyn Open Elect 1.0 (optical scan), the Microvote EMS 4.0 (direct recording electronic), the ES&S Unity 3.2.0.0 (optical scan), and the Premier Assure 1.2 (optical scan and direct recording electronic). Read EAC's most recent press release [16] on voting system certification, and go here [17] to learn more about the program.
This meeting will be webcast live. See the agenda and notice [19] for additional information.
