The EAC operates a voting system testing and certification program. This program tests and certifies hardware and software, and may also decertify those systems.  This program accredits test laboratories to perform this testing for the EAC. While states are not required to participate in the program, some have enacted laws or have regulations that require a level of participation. For detailed information, see the State Requirements and the Federal Voting System Testing and Certification Program.
