ANNOUNCEMENT: Go here to view pending Advisory Opinion Requests (inquiries about HAVA funds). Issued Advisory Opinions are available here. This information can also be accessed from the home page by clicking on "View Comments."


One of EAC’s top priorities is providing assistance to election officials. EAC has issued guidance, advisories and best practices to help them comply with HAVA and make other election administration improvements and enhancements.

States are required to submit periodic reports about HAVA expenditures, as well as other election administration data. Go here for more information about the reporting schedule, proper use of HAVA funds, and to access online reporting forms.

To further assist election officials, EAC has released election terminology glossaries in six languages, Election Management Guidelines, Quick Start guides, and poll worker manuals. Election officials can also go here to view additional resources. NOTE: These resources are available at no cost.

Also, visit our voting systems center for information about EAC's certification and test lab accreditation programs. The Voting System Reports Clearinghouse contains reviews and reports submitted by election officials. For more information or assistance, election officials should contact EAC toll free at 866-747-1471.
