1622 WG - Voting Equipment Electronic Data Interchange Committee

The "Voting System" is composed of a number of components, the voter registration system, the candidate filing process, the petition system, ballot definition, voting, tabulation, and reporting systems. This standard will develop standard data interchange formats to allow the exchange and interoperability of these various systems. The purpose of P-1622 is to reach, as nearly as possible, the ideal state, wherein there exists a common definition of the data utilized within election systems and the election industry. This standard would promote interoperability among functional components, reduce complexity, spur innovation, and provide greater assurance within election systems.
