EAC began operations in January 2004. However, reported problems with electronic voting systems have led to questions about the security and reliability of these systems. GAO was requested to (1) determine the significant security and reliability concerns identified about electronic voting systems, (2) identify recommended practices relevant to ensuring the security and reliability of these systems, and (3) describe actions taken or planned to improve their security and reliability. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-956/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-956.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-956/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-956.pdf GAO-05-956 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-956 Other Written Product GAO-05-956; Elections: Federal Efforts to Improve Security and Reliability of Electronic Voting Systems Are Under Way, but Key Activities Need to Be Completed; Computer security E-government Elections Intergovernmental relations Internal controls Systems analysis Systems design Systems development life cycle Systems evaluation Testing Strategic planning Electronic equipment Standards evaluation
