NYSVoter relies on shared security with both the county board and State Board having responsibilities over specific system resources and administration. The State Board will be responsible for providing tools necessary for county boards to authorize local users to NYSVoter functions, verify that local users identified in transaction headers are authorized for that purpose, and for insuring that a message was not altered in transmission.
Security over county voter registration systems and networks, administration of local users, authentication and authorization of county board personnel will be the responsibility of each county board. Each county board will configure the local county user to have access pursuant to NYSVoter. Since access to NYSVoter will be through the county voter registration system, administration and authorization to the county voter registration system must include the assignment of a user ID and password for the county voter registration system that has a role or user-based security management. County boards will have the rights to create and modify county users as well as delete users when appropriate in their own county.
