Key points
Mandatory Penetration Testing: All voting systems will undergo special tests to check their resistance to cyberattacks, increasing election security.
Vulnerability Disclosure Program: A program will be established where cybersecurity experts can identify weaknesses in election systems and report them for remediation. This will help protect data and election results.
Researcher Protection: Individuals who, in good faith, discover and report vulnerabilities in election systems will be protected from legal consequences, encouraging active participation in the program.
