The Election Assistance Commission (EAC) has asked NIST to investigate whether certain requirements in the 2007 Next Version VVSG (herein referred to as " VVSG 2007 ") could be integrated with or replace current requirements in the VVSG 2005, resulting in an amended version of the VVSG 2005. Their goal is to improve the overall quality and uniformity of testing for voting systems and to make key improvements in the current VVSG 2005 while the VVSG 2007 is in public review. These requirements would also be accompanied by tests that have been developed by NIST as part of the test suite for VVSG 2007. Besides the primary issue of improving the quality of testing, the EAC has also asked that other criteria be used to identify candidate requirements from VVSG 2007 for inclusion in an amended VVSG 2005. The candidate requirements criteria would be those that: 1. Improve the overall quality and uniformity of testing voting systems (and are accompanied by test cases), 2. Would not require hardware changes to current voting systems, 3. Would not require complex changes in software to current voting systems, 4. Would not substantially change the structure of the VVSG 2005, and 5. Would not change the intent of the VVSG 2005. Additionally, the EAC wishes to create this next version within a timeframe of approximately 6 months. Accordingly, NIST has identified requirements in VVSG 2007 that meet the criteria above. Given the criteria, many aspects of VVSG 2007, such as the complete device and system class structure, performance benchmarks, and software independence, are not candidates for consideration. These
