IEEE Project 1583Scope: Develop a standard for the evaluation of election
voting equipment.
Purpose: Develop an evaluation standard for election voting equipment. The standard will provide technical specifications for electronic, mechanical, and human factors that can be used by manufacturers of voting machines or by those purchasing such machines. The tests and criteria developed will assure equipment:
· Confidentiality,
· Security,
· Reliability,
· Accuracy,
· Usability,
· Accessibility.

IEEE Project 1622Standard for Voting Equipment Data
Interchange Scope: This project will develop electronic data
interchange formats to be used by components of the voting system for exchange of electronic data.
Purpose: The "Voting System" is composed of a number of components, the voter registration system, the candidate filing process, the petition system, ballot definition, voting, tabulations and reporting systems. This standard will develop standard data interchange formats to allow the exchange and interoperability of these various systems.
