Election Assistance Commission

The Election Assistance Commission (EAC) is an independent U.S. government agency created to help improve the administration of federal elections. It provides guidance, technical assistance, and resources to state and local election officials. The EAC also helps ensure that voting systems are secure and accessible, conducts research on election procedures, and administers federal funds to enhance election administration. By establishing standards for voting equipment and processes, the EAC aims to promote fair, transparent, and efficient elections across the country.
