NIST Issues Guidelines For E-Voting Machines -- InformationWeek:

The National Institute of Standards and Technology has released a new draft of voluntary federal standards for electronic voting machines.

NIST announced last week that it will take public comment on the new methods until July 1. Once the standards are adopted, state and local governments will decide whether their voting machine manufacturers will be required to meet the guidelines.
