Voter groups collaborate on XML data model for online voter registration -- Government Computer News

Voter groups collaborate on XML data model for online voter registration -- Government Computer News:

Two voter advocacy groups are joining forces to develop a new Extensible Markup Language data model for the electronic exchange of voter registration information.

The data exchange protocol could streamline the processing of voter registration forms by making it possible for states to accept data electronically and later automatically verify it against a signed paper copy. The work is being done by the Open Source Digital Voting (OSDV) Foundation and the Overseas Vote Foundation (OVF).
