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 hold a public meeting on
breaking down accessibility and language barriers to voting.
Agenda: The U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) will host a
public meeting to discuss areas such as accessibility for voters with
disabilities as well as language accessibility. The meeting will also
highlight the EAC's resources on these topics for voters and election
officials, including best practices guides, new research, and a first-
of-its-kind video training series.
The agenda includes panel discussions with representatives from the
EAC, election administrators, and subject matter experts. Panelists
will give remarks and respond to questions from the EAC Commissioners.
The full agenda will be posted in advance on the events page of the
EAC website: <a href="https://www.eac.gov/events/2023/09/06/us-election-assistance-commission-public-meeting-september-6-2023">https://www.eac.gov/events/2023/09/06/us-election-assistance-commission-public-meeting-september-6-2023</a>.
Background: Through the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA), the
EAC is tasked with maintaining a clearinghouse of election
administration information. HAVA also ensures that all voters with
disabilities have the right to mark, cast, and verify their ballots
privately and independently. To fulfill this mission, the EAC provides
best practices recommendations, training materials, and other resources
for election officials. By enhancing the agency's work with voters with
disabilities, those who are non-native English speakers, and the
election officials who serve them, the EAC aims to improve
accessibility and ensure an independent and private vote for all.
Status: This meeting will be open to the public.
Camden Kelliher,
Senior Associate Counsel, U.S. Election Assistance Commission.
