The commission is assessing the cybersecurity of Pennsylvania’s election architecture, including voting machines and election management systems, the voter registration system, and recovery and resilience in the event of a cyberattack or other technological failure
The commission produced a report providing practical recommendations to state and local Pennsylvania officials to better secure the state’s elections. The report will serve as a model for similar efforts in other states.
The commission is hosted by Pitt Cyber and generously supported by The Heinz Endowments and the Charles H. Spang Fund of The Pittsburgh Foundation. Pitt Cyber and the commission are grateful for the partnership of Verified Voting and for the technical advice from Carnegie Mellon’s Software Engineering Institute CERT Division.
