Abstract: The program is to publish four forms. These are to be used to collect key information concerning voting system manufacturers and their systems, as well as information regarding anomalies in voting systems used in federal elections. These forms will collect: - The voting system manufacturer registration form collects information on the ownership, contact details for certain directors and senior staff, and the quality processes for manufacturers who wish to participate in the EAC's Testing and Certification program. -The voting system application collects administrative information on new or modified voting systems that are being submitted for testing by a registered voting system manufacturer. -The voting system anomaly report will collect initial anomaly information as reported by voting system manufacturers and election officials. -The root cause analysis form collects information on voting system anomalies, test results, and findings.
