Comment : | The VVSG explicitly cover voting technologies, as well as election management systems. For some reason, the guidance does not address the beginning of the election management process-which is voter registration-even though voter registration (VR)is becoming a completely integrated part of election management. Moreover, the VVSG do explicitly cover items that are functions of voter registration, so it is not a stretch to wonder why the VVSG does not cover VR in its entirety.
