The proposed amendment would amend H.R. 2810 and give states the option of applying for Election Technology Improvement Grants that can be used to modernize and improve their voting systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To receive a grant, states must meet specific requirements, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The adherence to best practices in cybersecurity and cyber-hygiene;<\/li><li>The development, submission and publication of plans for election system modernization and enhancements, and;<br><\/li><li>Undergo Security Risk and Vulnerability Assessments conducted by the Department of Homeland Security.&nbsp;<br><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, there may be other requirements established by the amendment and the collaborative, federal-state commission of stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The current election systems are \u201cpredominately amalgamations of insecure and obsolete \u2026 &nbsp;technology, poorly designed black-box proprietary code, and hastily constructed applications\u201d that \u201clack native security applications commensurate with the modern threat landscape,\u201d ICIT reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The implementation of the proposed amendment, according to ICIT, would allow for the modernization and reformation of America\u2019s national election cyber-culture while enabling improved transparency, communication, information sharing and oversight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A proposed amendment has been analyzed by the Institute for Critical Infrastructure Technology.
