Pepperdine University will host a public meeting, ``HAVA at 20:
Building Confidence in Elections'' featuring discussions with election
officials and subject matter experts on confidence in elections,
security and technology in elections, current issues in election
administration, and the future of elections.
The panels will begin with ``Confidence in Elections'' to discuss
data identifying trends and ways to address the challenges of mis- and
dis-information, and approaches to improve confidence. The ``Security
and Technology in Elections'' panel will discuss how technology has
transformed American elections over the last two decades, the role of
election officials as IT managers, the increased coordination between
government and private sector partners to keep elections secure, and
how election officials are handling the physical and cyber threats.
``Current Issues in Election Administration (Clearinghouse/HAVA
Grants)'' will discuss election funding through HAVA and the impact
those grants have had on supporting elections during critical moments
over the last 20 years. The panel will also address the importance of
exchanging information on election practices and procedures and what
additional challenges lie ahead. The final panel, ``Future of
Elections--HAVA 20 Years From Now,'' will discuss how HAVA is still
relevant, how elections will evolve in the future, and what can be done
to continue confidence in our elections. The full agenda will be posted
in advance on the EAC website: <a href="https://www.eac.gov">https://www.eac.gov</a>.
The event will be livestreamed and recorded. The recording will be
made available on the EAC website at a later date.

efforts to improve voting processes, the EAC was established as an
independent and bipartisan commission to develop guidance to meet the
various HAVA requirements. These responsibilities include a national
clearinghouse of resources, adopting voluntary voting system
guidelines, certifying voting systems, auditing the use of HAVA funds,
and more. This event is being held because 2022 is the 20th anniversary
of HAVA. This year also marks the 25th anniversary of Pepperdine
University School of Public Policy.
