Comment : | Accuracy for Voting Systems: Ability of the system to capture, record, store, consolidate and report the specific selections and absence of selections, made by the voter for each ballot position without error. Required accuracy is defined in terms of an error rate that for testing purposes represents the maximum number of errors allowed while processing a specified volume of data. Association: voting, testing Source: VSS The wording is ambiguous. Is the selection made without error, or is it captured without error? Accuracy should include whether voter INTENT is captured.
