The RABET-V program, in collaboration with Enhanced Voting, is pleased to announce that Enhanced Ballot, Enhanced Voting’s electronic ballot delivery solution, has received verified status under the program. RABET-V offers a flexible, rapid, cost-effective process for verifying vendor-provided and homegrown non-voting election technology.
This achievement is a testament to Enhanced Voting's commitment to improving independent verification and validation in elections and marks the first time a national testing program has verified an electronic ballot delivery solution. It is the first of Enhanced Voting’s products to be verified by RABET-V, with two additional products currently in process and expected to be verified in the coming months.
"Achieving this level of approval with RABET-V demonstrates our unwavering commitment to enhancing the security of our products," said Aaron Wilson, President of Enhanced Voting. "We are proud to lead the way in improving the certification process for non-voting election technology." The successful approval of this product is a significant feat of collaboration and commitment between Enhanced Voting and the RABET-V program.
Center for Internet Security (CIS) started RABET-V as a pilot program in 2019, introducing testing standards that help election offices better understand the security, reliability, and risks associated with non-voting election technology, such as electronic poll books and election night reporting systems. The Turnout works closely with CIS and administers the RABET-V program.
"We are excited to recognize Enhanced Voting's commitment to improving election technology verification through the RABET-V program," said Jared Marcotte, President of The Turnout. "Verifying this product represents our dedication to ensuring the highest security while constantly improving testing speed for any non-voting election technology, regardless of whether the product is an electronic pollbook or an electronic ballot delivery system."
The RABET-V process includes organizational, architecture, and product verification assessments to ensure the most complete picture of a product’s security and performance.
"RABET-V is committed to improving the transparency and security of elections, increasing confidence, and equipping election officials with better information about the products on which they rely," said Marci Andino, Vice President for Election Operations at Center for Internet Security. "This helps vendors make continual improvements, consistent with software development best practices, while ensuring systems are secure and accessible."
With the approval of Enhanced Voting’s Enhanced Ballot product, the RABET-V program has now verified two products from two different technology providers. Both are listed on the RABET-V public listing site.
