Welcome to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission
The U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) is an independent, bipartisan commission created by the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) of 2002.
EAC is operating the federal government's first voting system certification program. It issues guidance about HAVA, adopts voluntary voting system guidelines, audits the use of HAVA funds, and provides best practices and resources to election officials throughout the nation.
EAC also administers a national clearinghouse of information about election administration and maintains the national mail voter registration form.
