meeting of the EAC Local Leadership Council to introduce members to the 
roles and responsibilities of this new advisory board and give members 
an overview of the role and work of the agency.
    Agenda: The U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) Local 
Leadership Council will hold their inaugural meeting to launch this new 
FACA board.
    Board members will be officially sworn in, and will receive 
information from the Designated Federal Officer and senior EAC staff 
about the duties and roles members are responsible for. Members will 
also receive a briefing on the work of the EAC and what the agency is 
working on for the year to come.
    Background: The Local Leadership Council was established in June 
2021 under agency authority pursuant to and in accordance with the 
provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, as amended (5 U.S.C. 
App. 2). The Advisory Committee is governed by the Federal Advisory 
Committee Act, which sets forth standards for the formation and use of 
advisory committees. The Advisory Committee shall advise the EAC on how 
best to fulfill the EAC's statutory duties set forth in 52 U.S.C. 20922 
as well as such other matters as the EAC determines. It shall provide a 
relevant and comprehensive source of expert, unbiased analysis and 
recommendations to the EAC on local election administration topics to 
include but not limited to voter registration and registration database 
maintenance, voting system user practices, ballot administration 
(programming, printing, and logistics), processing, accounting, 
canvassing, chain of custody, certifying results, and auditing.
    The Local Leadership Council shall consist of 100 members. The 
Election Assistance Commission shall appoint two members from each 
state after soliciting nominations from each state's election official 
professional association. At the time of submission, the Local 
Leadership Council has 81 appointed members. Upon appointment, Advisory 
Committee members must be serving or have previously served in a 
leadership role in a state's local election official professional 
association.
    The full agenda will be posted in advance on the EAC website:
