From Stanley Klein:

There is an ongoing effort in IEEE to develop standards for voting systems. The project is under Standards Coordinating Committee 38. The web page is at http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/scc38/ There are two projects there. The main voting system standards project is P1583.

… I have long been concerned that the bulk of participation has been by representatives of voting machine manufacturers. …

This effort definitely needs increased participation by people who are expert in information security, interested in voting systems, and not part of the manufacturing community. As a minimum, it needs participation in the voting pool when the standard comes up for approval in the IEEE Standards Association.

Time is short. The next meeting is scheduled for May 19 and 20 in Columbia, MD. … There are email lists for which the archives are posted on the web site. The drafts are also posted there.

Please either get involved yourselves or urge colleagues to get involved…
