U.S. Election Assistance Commission Reaches Voluntary Voting System Guidelines 2.0 Migration Deadline – VVSG 1.0 Systems Still in Use and Certified to Highest Standard

After November 15th, all applications for voting systems to be newly certified by the EAC must be for VVSG 2.0 or limited maintenance modifications to existing EAC-certified systems. New systems will require time to be developed, certified, and fielded for use in elections – dependent upon local and state procurement policies – while existing systems certified by the EAC to VVSG 1.0 remain secure.
