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
``Closing the Accessibility Gap: Voting in 2024 and Beyond.''
Agenda: The EAC will host a public meeting to discuss progress made
on serving voters with disabilities and new advances in technology,
best practices, and funding opportunities to support accessibility
efforts. 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/2024/08/28/closing-accessibility-gap-voting-2024-and-beyond">https://www.eac.gov/events/2024/08/28/closing-accessibility-gap-voting-2024-and-beyond</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 there is at least one
accessible voting machine per polling place and created additional
rights related to ballot casting for voters with disabilities. 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 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,
Acting General Counsel, U.S. Election Assistance Commission.
