SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Purpose: In accordance with the Government in the Sunshine Act
(Sunshine Act), Public Law 94-409, as amended (5 U.S.C. 552b), the U.S.
Election Assistance Commission (EAC) will conduct a virtual roundtable
discussion on considerations for the establishment of a testing pilot
program for electronic poll books (e-poll books).
Agenda: The U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) will hold a
roundtable discussion on the benefits and challenges of implementing a
testing program for e-poll books. The event will include three panels
representing election officials, e-poll book manufacturers, and
technology experts.
An increasing number of election jurisdictions are utilizing e-poll
books, replacing or supplementing the use of traditional paper poll
books that contain and track voter rolls. Thirteen states where e-poll
books are used have a certification program, and 12 states do not. The
EAC recognized the need for uniform certification and testing standards
and is in the process of developing a pilot program for e-poll books to
enhance the security, as well as accessibility, of these devices. This
public meeting will help the EAC identify opportunities, challenges,
and continuing needs of election officials who use these systems, the
manufacturers who develop them, and experts who have an additional
understanding of this subject.
The full agenda will be posted in advance on the EAC website:

Status: This roundtable discussion will be open to the public.
Kevin Rayburn,
General Counsel, U.S. Election Assistance Commission.
