Why the Election Assistance Commission Matters

The EAC is an independent, bipartisan commission tasked with critical responsibilities that include:

  • Voting System Certification: Accrediting testing laboratories and certifying voting systems to enhance electoral security.
  • Voter Registration: Maintaining the national mail voter registration form as per the National Voter Registration Act of 1993.

Professionals must be aware of guidelines and standards affecting voting systems, voter registration, and election funding to efficiently respond to changes that may impact operations or strategies.
