Voting Systems Standards: Available for Public Comment

Posted 3 Jul 2001 at 03:09 UTC by tgw

For those who aren't completely sick of hearing about voting and voting systems, the US Federal Election Commission (FEC) just posted the latest version of their Voting Systems Standards (VSS) online for public comment. The original US VSS (1990) were only available in hardcopy format, so few people ever saw them. By making the revised draft available online, the FEC is taking a positive step forward and will likely benefit from having "many eyes" helping to improve the VSS.
