EAC Resources

Remember to Register

The EAC would like to remind you to register to vote. We have the NVRA form available on our website in English, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Tagalog and Vietnamese. Also, we recently posted a blog with additional guidance on this form.

Voter Tips

The EAC created a card called “Voting Tips” to offer tips and reminders to voters to make sure they are prepared for Election Day.

EAC Election Calendar

One of the resources the EAC created to keep track of election deadlines is an Election calendar. This calendar tracks election dates, absentee ballot deadlines, voter registration deadlines and early voting times. As we approach November, there are many important deadlines that occur in the weeks leading up to the election. We hope this calendar will be useful.

This key will help you understand the abbreviations in the calendar:

· Elections are red

o P = Primary

o PPE=Presidential Preference Election

o S=Special Election

o SP=Special Primary Election

o SG=Special General Election

· Absentee Ballot deadlines are purple

o ABS=Absentee Ballot Request deadline

· Early voting/in person absentee voting periods are orange

o EV=Early Voting/In Person Absentee voting period

· Voter registration deadlines are green

o VR=Voter Registration deadline

· State abbreviations are used for each entry (e.g., DC = Washington, D.C.)

If you have questions about a deadline, please contact your Secretary of State or local election office.

If you have questions about the calendar, please contact Jessica Myers at jmyers@eac.gov or via Twitter (@EACgov).

The purpose of this blog is to share useful, innovative and practical information about voting and elections with interested parties. EAC also intends to provide this forum to host conversations with the public. EAC encourages the submission of comments from the public and hopes that interested individuals will provide submissions on a regular basis. EAC also recognizes the value of providing this forum to facilitate discussions concerning best practices, solutions, and innovative ideas in election administration.

This is a moderated blog, and EAC will exercise discretion in determining which comments it will and will not post. As a moderated blog, EAC will review all comments before posting to ensure that commenters have complied with EAC’s Blog Code of Conduct. EAC’s decision to post or not post a comment is final and may not be appealed or reconsidered.

EAC expects that participants will treat each other, as well as our agency and our employees with respect. EAC recognizes that the Internet is a 24/7 medium and comments are welcome at any time; however, we will typically review and post comments only during normal business hours.

You may only submit a comment for posting on EAC’s blog if you are older than 13 years of age. You will be asked to re-type a grouping of letters and/or numbers, which indicates that you agree to EAC’s Code of Conduct and also serves as an affirmation that you are older than 13 years of age. Your comment will not be transmitted to EAC for review and posting unless and until you successfully re-type the grouping of letters and/or numbers provided on your comment submission form. Read the full policy.

We look forward to reviewing your comments!
