Security Measures for Touchscreen/DRE Voting Systems

In response to concerns about the security of touchscreen/DRE voting systems, the Secretary of State’s office has required these systems to meet 23 additional security measures before these systems can be used in the November election. These additional security measures require:

# That every voter be given the option of casting a paper ballot. If you would prefer to use a paper ballot instead of a touchscreen/DRE, you may request one when you sign in at the polls.

# That the system’s source code must be made available for analysis by independent experts.

# That no telephone, wireless, or Internet connections are permitted on the machines.

# That the county engage in a comprehensive poll worker training program.
