The Open Voting Consortium
The Open Voting Consortium, or OVC, is a group founded by people with diverse interests sharing a common concern with electronic voting machines, particularly the new Direct Recording Electronic (DRE) touchscreen machines.
OVC was founded in November 2001 by a board of experts in computer science, elections and policy. The purpose of the group is to disseminate information about the existing DRE's as well as to develop standards and software to demonstrate the use of off-the-shelf components with an open source election system. The group has developed a proof of concept prototype demonstrating an open voting system. They have also assisted in the drafting of legislation in the California General Assembly. OVC has gained support from representatives in the California legislature and has brought together experts to testify before the General Assembly.
