ELECTION ASSISTANCE COMMISSION


Sunshine Act Notice

AGENCY: United States Election Assistance Commission.

ACTION: Revised Notice of Public Meeting for U.S. Election Assistance 
Commission Board of Advisors.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Date and Time: Tuesday, April 26, 2005, 6:30 p.m.-8:30 p.m., Wednesday, 
April 27, 2005, 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. and Thursday, April 28, 2005, 8:30 
a.m.-Noon.

Place: Boston Marriott Cambridge, 2 Cambridge Center, (Broadway & 3rd 
Street), Cambridge, MA 02142, (Massachusetts Bay Transit Station Shop: 
Kendall Square).

Purpose: The U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) Board of 
Advisors, as required by the Help America Vote Act of 2002, will meet 
to present its views on issues regarding the administration of federal 
elections, and formulate recommendations to the EAC.
    The Board will receive an update on recent EAC activities. It will 
also discuss Voting System Guidelines, EAC proposed Voluntary Guidance 
on the Implementation of Statewide Voter Registration Lists, overseas 
voting issues, EAC's research agenda and other relevant matters 
pertaining to the administration of federal elections. Further, the 
Board of Advisors will hear reports from its various subcommittees, to 
include a report from the Executive Director Search Committee. 
Additionally, the Board will take administrative actions necessary for 
its efficient operation, including the election of its officers and 
adoption of bylaws.
    Any member of the public may file a written statement with the 
Board before, during, or after the meeting. To the extent that time 
permits, the Board may allow public presentation or oral statements at 
the meeting.

Statement of Partial Closure: A portion of this public meeting will be 
closed to the public. The report of the Executive Director Search 
Committee to the Board of Advisors will not be open to the public, as 
this subcommittee will discuss information of a personal nature 
involving applicants for a federal position where disclosure would 
constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. Closure 
of this portion of the meeting is consistent with 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6).

Statement of Exceptional Circumstances: This revised notice of a 
meeting will not be published in the Federal Register 15 days prior to 
the meeting dates. Late notice was unavoidable due to a recent addition 
to the meeting's agenda, the report of the Executive Director Search 
Committee. This report must not be delayed, as it is a necessary step 
in the eventual appointment of an EAC Executive Director. This position 
must be filed at the earliest possible date.
