1 NIST Workshop on a Common Data Format for Electronic Voting Systems October 29-30, 2009 National Institute of Standards and Technology 1

2 Page 2 Opening Remarks Cita Furlani, Director, Information Technology Laboratory, NIST John Wack, Technical Manager, NIST Voting Program James Long, Computer Engineer, Election Assistance Commission

3 Page 3 To identify and agree upon a set of requirements for a common data format for voting systems interoperability of different equipment auditability transparency publishing (communication with consumers of election data, such as media outlets) integration between polls and registration transition to electronic record-keeping CDF Workshop Goals

4 Page 4 Stakeholders include voters manufacturers election officials consumers of election data organizations with existing data formats (e.g., OASIS) academics and others with related work CDF Workshop Goals

5 Page 5 CDF Workshop Conclusions We will catalog requirements as they are identified and discuss them on Day 2 Panels moderated by Mark Skall Requirements determined by the end of this workshop will be distributed to you for review and comment, using cdf@nist.gov and cdf@nist.gov http://vote.nist.gov

6 Page 6 Workshop Structure Opening Remarks Four Panels Election official and State experiences Common data format research OASIS EML overview Manufacturer and integrator panel Requirements summaries and next steps

7 Page 7 The TGDC’s VVSG 2007 Does not identify a specific standard, but encourages formats such as OASIS EML or output of IEEE Voting System Electronic Data Interchange Project 1622 Has mostly SHOULD requirements: The voting system SHALL use a non-restrictive, publicly-available format with respect to export of report data. Voting systems SHOULD use a common, consensus-based format for export and interchange of data and reports. The voting system manufacturer SHOULD use a common format for export and interchange of data and reports across its major device categories.

8 Page 8 Panel 1: Election Officials and State Experiences with Common Data Formats This panel presents state election official experiences dealing with election data and common formats. The goal of the panel is to discuss and derive requirements for a common data format. Panel is from 9:45 till 12 noon Break at 10:15 – 10:30 Each speaker has 20 minutes including questions
