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 an annual meeting of
the EAC Standards Board to conduct regular business, discuss EAC
updates and upcoming programs, and discuss the Voluntary Voting System
Guidelines (VVSG) 2.0 and electronic poll book pilot program.
Agenda: The U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) Standards
Board will hold their 2023 Annual Meeting primarily to conduct an
annual review the VVSG 2.0 Requirements and implementation, review the
status of the EAC's e-poll book pilot program, discuss ongoing EAC
programs, and address election official security and mental health
concerns. This meeting will include a question and answer discussion
between board members and EAC staff.
Board members will also review FACA Board membership guidelines and
policies with EAC Acting General Counsel and receive a general update
about the EAC programing. The Board will also elect nine members to the
Executive Board Committee.
Background: On February 10, 2021 the U.S. Election Assistance
Commission (EAC) announced the adoption of the Voluntary Voting System
Guidelines (VVSG) 2.0, the fifth iteration of national level voting
system standards. The Federal Election Commission published the first
two sets of Federal standards in 1990 and 2002. The EAC then adopted
Version 1.0 of the VVSG on December 13, 2005. In an effort to update
and improve version 1.0 of the VVSG, on March 31, 2015, the EAC
commissioners unanimously approved VVSG 1.1.
HAVA designates a 110-member Standards Board to assist EAC in
carrying out its mandates under the law. The board consists of 55 state
election officials selected by their respective chief state election
official, and 55 local election officials selected through a process
supervised by the chief state election official.
The full agenda will be posted in advance on the EAC website:

Status: This meeting will be open to the public.
Camden Kelliher,
Associate Counsel, U.S. Election Assistance Commission.
