SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Purpose: In accordance with the Government in the Sunshine Act 
(Sunshine Act), Public Law 94-409, as amended (5 U.S.C. 552b), the U.S. 
Election Assistance Commission (EAC) will conduct a virtual annual 
meeting of the Board of Advisors to discuss EAC updates and upcoming 
programs, and discuss the implementation of the Voluntary Voting System 
Guidelines (VVSG) 2.0 and electronic poll book pilot program next 
steps, as well as threats against election officials.
    Agenda: The U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) Board of 
Advisors will hold their 2022 Annual Meeting primarily to discuss next 
steps regarding the VVSG 2.0 and implementation, the status of the 
EAC's e-poll book pilot program, and threats against election 
officials. This meeting will include a question-and-answer discussion 
between board members and EAC staff.
    Board members will also review FACA Board membership guidelines and 
policies with EAC Acting General Counsel and receive a general update 
about the EAC programming. The Board will also elect three members to 
the Executive Board Committee and consider proposed changes to the 
bylaws.
    Background: On February 10, 2021 the U.S. Election Assistance 
Commission (EAC) announced the adoption of the Voluntary Voting System 
Guidelines (VVSG) 2.0; the VVSG 2.0 is the fifth iteration of national 
level voting system standards. On April 5, 2022, the EAC adopted the 
VVSG Lifecycle Policy as part of the implementation process.
    The Federal Election Commission published the first two sets of 
federal standards in 1990 and 2002. The EAC then adopted Version 1.0 of 
the VVSG on December 13, 2005. In an effort to update and improve 
version 1.0 of the VVSG, on March 31, 2015, the EAC commissioners 
unanimously approved VVSG 1.1.
    The full agenda will be posted in advance on the EAC website: 
https://www.eac.gov.

STATUS: This meeting will be open to the public.
