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 an annual meeting of 
the EAC Standards Board to conduct regular business, discuss EAC 
updates and upcoming programs, and discuss the Voluntary Voting System 
Guidelines (VVSG) 2.0 and electronic poll book pilot program.
    Agenda: The U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) Standards 
Board will hold their 2023 Annual Meeting primarily to conduct an 
annual review the VVSG 2.0 Requirements and implementation, review the 
status of the EAC's e-poll book pilot program, discuss ongoing EAC 
programs, and address election official security and mental health 
concerns. 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 programing. The Board will also elect nine members to the 
Executive Board Committee.
    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 fifth iteration of national level voting 
system standards. 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.
    HAVA designates a 110-member Standards Board to assist EAC in 
carrying out its mandates under the law. The board consists of 55 state 
election officials selected by their respective chief state election 
official, and 55 local election officials selected through a process 
supervised by the chief state election official.
    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.

Camden Kelliher,
Associate Counsel, U.S. Election Assistance Commission.
