SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Agenda

    Commissioners will hold a hearing to discuss the proposed Voluntary 
Voting System Guidelines (VVSG) 2.0 Requirements as submitted by the 
Technical Guidelines Development Committee (TGDC). The VVSG 2.0 
Requirements are currently published for a 90-day public comment 
period. Commissioners will hear from a panel of experts who will 
provide an introduction to the VVSG process as well a high-level 
overview of the proposed VVSG 2.0 requirements. Commissioners will also 
hear from members of the public who wish to offer verbal testimony on 
the VVSG 2.0 requirements. Public testimony during the hearing will be 
limited to 3-5 minutes maximum per person. If you would like to 
participate in public testimony, please contact Jerome Lovato 
([email protected]) with your full name and phone number no later than 
9:50 a.m. Eastern Time on March 27, 2020. For dial-in users, you will 
be identified by your area code and the last three digits of your phone 
number, so please provide the phone number that you will use during the 
hearing.
    The TGDC unanimously approved to recommend VVSG 2.0 Requirements on 
February 7, 2020, and sent the Requirements to the EAC Acting Executive 
Director via the Director of the National Institute of Standards and 
Technology (NIST), in the capacity of the Chair of the TGDC on March 9, 
2020. Upon adoption, the VVSG 2.0 would become the fifth iteration of 
national level voting system standards. The Federal Election Commission 
published the first two sets of federal standards in 1990 and 2002. The 
EAC then adopted Version 1.0 of the VVSG on December 13, 2005. In an 
effort to update and improve version 1.0 of the VVSG, on March 31, 
2015, the EAC commissioners unanimously approved VVSG 1.1.
