   IN RECOGNITION OF THE UNITED STATES ELECTION ASSISTANCE COMMISSION

  (Ms. LEE of Florida asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. LEE of Florida. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
United States Election Assistance Commission, the EAC, and the local 
elections offices across the country who are this year's Clearie Award 
winners.
  The EAC was established in 2002 as part of the Help America Vote Act 
to assist States in HAVA compliance and distributing funds to the 
States. They also are responsible for creating voting system guidelines 
and assisting local elections offices across the country.
  Each year, the EAC administers a national award, the Clearinghouse 
Award, or Clearies, to recognize local offices that implement best 
practices and procedures to ensure their election administration is 
safe and secure.
  I commend their annual efforts in showcasing the successes of local 
and State jurisdictions and congratulate the hardworking staff from the 
24 election offices from across the Nation who were recognized. I would 
like to give special recognition to Florida's very own Hillsborough 
County Elections office, which was named a winner for distinguished 
voter education and communication initiatives.
  Madam Speaker, I congratulate the 2024 Clearinghouse Award winners.
