ELECTIONS

Overview

RULE:

1S-2.004

Purchase, Sale, and Uses of Voting Equipment and Systems

PURPOSE:

The rule has not been updated since 1986 to reflect current local and state-level procurement practices. Additionally, the current rule provides no guidance to other appropriate uses of the systems that would promote training, education and technological advances on or with certified voting systems. For example, the proposed revision establishes procedures or protocols for assessing a voting system during a routine test or system audit and for identifying potential or actual problems that require immediate resolution and assessing potential vulnerabilities to the integrity of voting systems. The rule revision reflects input from rule workshops conducted in 2004, 2006 and 2009 to elicit feedback in a substantial rewrite of the rule.

SUMMARY:

Provides the procedures for the procurement, and various other uses including training and assessment of voting systems.
