NSRL and Voting System Software

The NSRL has been mentioned in 2004 in conjunction with voting initiatives, most notably in U.S. Election Assistance Commission Chairman Soaries' remarks about Electronic Voting Security Strategy. In July 2004, NIST scientists gave a report explaining the use of the NSRL technology as applied to voting systems.

Other involvement is noted on the NIST Software Diagnostics & Conformance Testing Division website.

The most recent special data set describing voting software files comprising multiple product versions from several vendors is available at http://www.nsrl.nist.gov/votedata.html
(The file format is described in Data Formats of the NSRL RDS.)
