Election Assistance Commission (EAC)
The EAC was established by HAVA as an independent, bipartisan commission charged with helping Americans vote by ensuring election officials have the support and resources they need. The EAC creates voluntary voting system guidelines, accredits test laboratories, certifies voting systems and serves as the nation's clearinghouse of information and best practices related to elections. The EAC maintains the national mail voter registration form, and develops recommendations and standards that addresses the needs of voters, state and local election leaders, and other election stakeholders.      .
