Comment :  INTEROPERABILITY  
 
Interoperability is defined as the "ability of a system to use  
the parts or equipment of another system".

The VVSG must include standards requiring that voting equipment  
from one vendor will be interoperable with the equipment of another  
vendor.  

This will allow states and local jurisdictions to make use of  
the technology that exists, in a way that is most suitable to their  
individual needs.
