The Chair of the EAC (US Federal Election Assistance Commission) recently asked the technical community for assistance in determining a new standard. The performance properties for voting systems might include: integrity of the votes (both voter verification, "I can check that my vote was captured correctly" and public verification, "anyone can check that all recorded votes were counted correctly"); ballot secrecy (both voter privacy and resistance to vote selling and coercion); robustness (including resistance to denial of service attacks); usability and accuracy (including access for the disabled); and transparency (both of mechanism and election data).
