Freedom of Information Act
Under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), you may request access to records held by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission. The request must include your name and sufficient information for us to contact you, and must reasonably describe the records you are requesting. We will respond to your request within twenty (20) working days.

-
indicate the exemption(s) claimed
-
describe what the exemption(s) cover
-
explain the procedures for appealing the denial
