Overview

RULE:

1S-2.015

Minimum Security Procedures for Voting Systems

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this rule amendment is to provide comprehensive security procedures to ensure the highest level of voting system protection. The substance of these amendments is primarily based on a technical advisory issued on March 3, 2006, that pertained to enhancements to voting system security procedures, prompted in part by the outcome of recent tests of voting systems in local jurisdictions and a review of the State of California’s Voting Systems Technology Assessment Advisory Board’s (VSTAAB) Security Analysis of the Diebold AccuBasic Interpreter and Ciber Laboratory’s Source Code Review and Functional Testing reports. The Division of Elections recognizes that as technology evolves, the operations and access to certified voting systems ought to be evaluated so as to determine whether a system and a county’s overall security plan and procedures need to be modified or enhanced in order to ensure the integrity of the voting system and the electoral process.
