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 hold a 
public roundtable discussion focusing on topics related to poll 
workers.
    Agenda: The U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) will host a 
public meeting to discuss a range of topics pertaining to recruitment 
and training of poll workers and other related topics and research in 
this area.
    The agenda includes a roundtable discussion on election office poll 
worker programs and innovations, as well as a panel on external 
recruitment efforts for poll workers and research. The EAC 
Commissioners will hear from election officials, organization 
representatives, and subject matter experts.
    The full agenda will be posted in advance on the EAC website: 
https://www.eac.gov.
    Background: The Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA) charged the 
EAC to improve election administration and serve as a primary source of 
best practices and election information, such as poll worker 
recruitment. On December 29, President Biden signed the Consolidated 
Appropriations Act of, 2023 which provides the EAC a $1 million 
allocation to the competitive Help America Vote College Program. Poll 
worker recruitment has been an ongoing challenge for election 
officials, compounded by an aging population of election workers. 
Having an adequate number of poll workers to staff polling places on 
and before Election Day will ensure voters receive the assistance they 
need at the polls, reduce the potential for long lines or congestion 
and help provide a positive and smooth voting experience for all 
voters.
