Washington, D.C. 20005
Dear
Mr. Wilkey:
It
is my pleasure to deliver to you the second iteration of the Voluntary
Voting System Guidelines as recommended by the Technical Guidelines
Development Committee (TGDC). This document is a complete re-write
of the document known as VVSG 2005 and was developed to address
the next generation of voting equipment.
It
has taken two years to develop this document, during which members
of the TGDC, with technical assistance from NIST, worked carefully
and diligently to update and write numerous new requirements for
the many aspects having to do with voting equipment and their
use in elections. As chairman of the TGDC, I would like to note
to you that the Committee adopted the recommendations contained
in this document unanimously.
The
TGDC and the staff at NIST look forward to the upcoming reviews
of these recommendations by the EAC, the Standards and Advisory
Boards, and the American public.
Sincerely,
William
Jeffrey
Chair
Technical Guidelines Development Committee
Enclosure
