In view of concerns about voting systems and the important role EAC plays in certifying them, GAO was asked to determine whether EAC has (1) defined an effective approach to testing and certifying voting systems, (2) followed its defined approach, and (3) developed an effective mechanism to track problems with certified systems and use the results to improve its approach. To accomplish this, GAO compared EAC guidelines and procedures with applicable statutes, guidance, and best practices, and examined the extent to which they have been implemented. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-814/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-814.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-814/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-814.pdf GAO-08-814 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-814 Other Written Product GAO-08-814; Elections: Federal Program for Certifying Voting Systems Needs to Be Further Defined, Fully Implemented, and Expanded; Best practices Certification and accreditation Developmental testing Elections Federal regulations Federal/state relations Information management Operational testing Product evaluation Program evaluation Program management Reports management Requirements definition Software verification and validation Standards Strategic planning System software Systems analysis Systems evaluation Systems testing Testing Voting Voting systems Public Law 107-252
