Book Description
The 2002 Help America Vote Act (HAVA) created the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) and, among other things, assigned the Commission responsibility for testing and certifying voting systems. In view of concerns about voting systems and the important role EAC plays in certifying them, the author was asked to determine whether EAC has: (1) defined an effective approach to testing and certifying voting systems; (2) followed its defined approach; and (3) developed an effective mechanism to track problems with certified systems and used the results to improve its approach. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables.
