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 open meeting to 
review findings from the 2023 EAC Voluntary Electronic Poll Book Pilot 
Program Report and hear from subject matter experts on different 
aspects of testing and certification programs of this technology.
    Agenda: The U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) will host 
panels featuring election administrators, EAC staff, and election 
subject matter experts. They will discuss the findings of the Voluntary 
Electronic Poll Book Pilot Program Report, the benefits of these 
programs, lessons learned from the pilot, and information from the 
voting system test laboratories who participated.
    Background: Under the authority of the Help America Vote Act 
(HAVA), the EAC created the Election Supporting Technology Evaluation 
Program (ESTEP) to establish requirements and guidelines specific to 
election technologies that are not covered under the Voluntary Voting 
System Guidelines (VVSG). The e-poll book pilot is the first in a 
series of pilots conducted by the ESTEP program, which will also 
examine voter registration databases, election night reporting systems, 
and ballot delivery systems.
    The e-poll book pilot program testing, took place between January 
and August 2023. The pilot involved two VSTLs, Pro V&V and SLI 
Compliance, that tested e-poll book devices from five commercial 
manufacturers, and two in-house developers. These systems were tested 
against the Voluntary Electronic Poll Book Requirements (Version 0.9) 
developed by ESTEP in consultation with the National Institute of 
Standards and Technology (NIST), cybersecurity and accessibility 
experts, and other key stakeholders.
    The full agenda will be posted in advance on the EAC website: 
<a href="https://www.eac.gov">https://www.eac.gov</a>.
    Status: This meeting will be open to the public.

Camden Kelliher,
Deputy General Counsel, U.S. Election Assistance Commission.
