the VVSG 2.0. lifecycle policy and manual enhancements. This meeting

    Background: On February 10, 2021 the U.S. Election Assistance

Guidelines (VVSG) 2.0; the VVSG 2.0 is 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.
