Election Assistance Commission (EAC) will conduct a virtual meeting to 
discuss topics and resources available to election officials as they 
serve language minority voters.
    Agenda: Commissioners will hold a public meeting (roundtable) to 
moderate panel discussions on the following topics: (1) The importance 
of accurate, legal, and culturally competent translation for limited-
English proficiency voters and best practices for implementing new 
language programs, including serving voters with disabilities, (2) How 
jurisdictions have implemented effective language assistance plans to 
better serve voters in their communities, (3) Highlighting innovative 
and practical ways jurisdictions have addressed languages challenges, 
and (4) Design elements, budget impacts and helpful tips to stretch 
funds for the greatest results.
    Background: New Section 203 determinations were made in December

issues that state and local election officials will need to consider 
when adopting new language requirements or recently losing section 
language requirements. Commissioners and attendees will hear from 
expert panelists who will share resources and best practices related to 
serving language minority groups.
