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 meeting to
discuss topics and resources available to election officials as they
serve language minority voters.
Agenda: Commissioners will hold a public meeting (roundtable) to
moderate panel discussions on the following topics: (1) The importance
of accurate, legal, and culturally competent translation for limited-
English proficiency voters and best practices for implementing new
language programs, including serving voters with disabilities, (2) How
jurisdictions have implemented effective language assistance plans to
better serve voters in their communities, (3) Highlighting innovative
and practical ways jurisdictions have addressed languages challenges,
and (4) Design elements, budget impacts and helpful tips to stretch
funds for the greatest results.
Background: New Section 203 determinations were made in December
2021. The EAC will host a virtual roundtable to highlight a spectrum of
issues that state and local election officials will need to consider
when adopting new language requirements or recently losing section
language requirements. Commissioners and attendees will hear from
expert panelists who will share resources and best practices related to
serving language minority groups.
The full agenda will be posted in advance on the EAC website:
