Comment : | B. WIRELESS The Guidelines are to include requirements for the use and implementation of wireless capabilities in a voting system, and such standards must provide assurance that security is a foremost consideration. Maintaining security and confidence in our voting systems must be a primary objective. These should include prior to voting starting, during voting and after voting is complete. My recommendation is that for reporting election results using a wireless component; the wireless component should only be turned on after the polls close and voting is complete.
