Throughout the past 15 years, the United States has witnessed a steady increase in the use of EPBs during elections. The EAC first began tracking EPB usage in 2008, when only 23 states and territories reported using EPBs. The most recent data from the 2022 Election Administration and Voting Survey (EAVS) findings revealed that 40 states and territories currently utilize EPBs, with 19 reporting the usage of EPBs in all jurisdictions and 21 only utilizing EPBs in some jurisdictions.
