The Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA) charged the EAC to serve as a national clearinghouse and resource for the compilation of information and review of procedures with respect to the administration of federal elections. Professional election official training is a vital component of the quality of federal election administration throughout the United States. With numerous training approaches and a variety of methodologies employed across the country, the EAC seeks feedback on election officials' experiences with existing election official training programs (federal, state, and local), opportunities for training engagement, and the EAC's role in training.
Status:
This meeting will be open to the public.
