The U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) is requesting public comments on a draft procedural manual for the voting system testing and certification program. The Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA) directs the EAC to assume responsibility for the certification, de-certification and re-certification of voting system hardware and software used in conducting federal elections and for the accreditation of testing laboratories. This mandate represents the first time the federal government will provide for the voluntary testing and certification of voting systems, nationwide.
