Chairman Don Palmer opened the virtual TGDC meeting, reviewed the committee's Help America Vote Act directive and the VVSG 2.1 annual‑review process, and described documents for review (draft VVSG 2.1, recommendation spreadsheet, change notes). He invited NIST and EAC staff to present and turned the meeting to Monica to conduct roll call.
The U.S. Election Assistance Commission Technical Guidelines Development Committee met virtually to review the draft VVSG 2.1. Members discussed proposed prohibitions on encoding voter selections in machine-readable formats, a requirement for voter‑verifiable paper records, wireless‑hardware restrictions, accessibility requirements (including automatic paper handling and OCR), and scheduling for public comment; the committee modified the agenda to remove a planned vote on TGDC recommendations.
