BACKGROUND
: Changes to VVSG 1.1 since the Initial Public Comment Period
The initial proposed revision to VVSG 1.1, was offered during a 120-day public comment period in the summer of 2009. Since that time, the EAC’s Testing & Certification Program has discovered additional best practices, experienced anomalies and deficiencies with voting systems entering the Testing and Certification Program, and clarified many ambiguities with the standard. Changes were made after the 120-day public comment period to address these issues. For more information on changes made since the initial public comment period, please see the Federal Register notice.
