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 meeting on 
``Closing the Accessibility Gap: Voting in 2024 and Beyond.''
    Agenda: The EAC will host a public meeting to discuss progress made 
on serving voters with disabilities and new advances in technology, 
best practices, and funding opportunities to support accessibility 
efforts. The agenda includes panel discussions with representatives 
from the EAC, election administrators, and subject matter experts. 
Panelists will give remarks and respond to questions from the EAC 
Commissioners.
    The full agenda will be posted in advance on the events page of the 
EAC website: https://www.eac.gov/events/2024/08/28/closing-accessibility-gap-voting-2024-and-beyond.
    Background: Through the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA), the 
EAC is tasked with maintaining a clearinghouse of election 
administration information. HAVA also ensures there is at least one 
accessible voting machine per polling place and created additional 
rights related to ballot casting for voters with disabilities. To 
fulfill this mission, the EAC provides best practices recommendations, 
training materials, and other resources for election officials. By 
enhancing the agency's work with voters with disabilities and the 
election officials who serve them, the EAC aims to improve 
accessibility and ensure an independent and private vote for all.
    Status: This meeting will be open to the public.

Camden Kelliher,
Acting General Counsel, U.S. Election Assistance Commission.
