Comment :  This section, however, does not require any demonstration or proof that the installed software is the same as that approved by the ITA.

Similarly, the standards do not comment on maintaining the integrity of the software or system throughout its lifetime. The standards do require that each ROM be validated before the
run of each election [7, Vol I §6.4.1 a] but there is no requirement that the integrity be maintained throughout
the election.
