Advancing Safe, Secure, Accurate, and Accessible Elections
The U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) is an independent, bipartisan commission whose mission is to help election officials improve the administration of elections and help Americans participate in the voting process.
As the only federal agency solely focused on election administration, the EAC works to protect the nation’s election equipment, support election officials, serve voters, and ultimately help make elections safe, secure, accurate, and accessible by fulfilling this mission.
