Open Voting at OSCON

They don't have a system to get certified yet - they have just built a prototype. If you went to the demo in San Jose or read the stories on them it becomes clear this is a proposal for a research project with the eventual goal of actually writing code for a system.
I haven't seen the Open Voting Consortium listed on the OSCON site but I do know the Australian open source system from Software Improvements is on the Security agenda and they are presenting a paper on Confidence in Elections System Software.
And a correction - OVC has not demonstrated a working system. They have demonstrated a concept demo of something they want to build if they can get funding. The Australian system has been in actual use since 2001.
