RABET-V

Addressing the Verification Problem

There is no standard, national-level process for verifying that non-voting election technology is secure, reliable, accessible, and usable. This puts elections jurisdictions at risk, burdens vendors with extra costs, and risks inconsistent and insecure outcomes.

Offering a Trusted Solution

RABET-V is a flexible, rapid, and cost-effective process for verifying vendor-provided and homegrown non-voting election technology. RABET-V assesses a product and the organization responsible for developing it by scoring its development process, architecture, and the product's performance to form a more complete picture of non-voting election technology.
