Election Admin

Congress established the EAC as the national clearinghouse on best practices to facilitate the sharing of voluntary guidelines, resources, and best practices. The EAC gathers this information through various methods, including holding hearings and interviews with election officials and experts in the field of election administration, administering the annual Clearinghouse Awards to recognize the contributions of election officials and their offices in a range of categories, collecting innovative research and data to improve the voter experience and support election administrators, and leveraging the expertise of its advisory boards.
