The U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) has published a Sunshine Act notice announcing the 2026 Annual Meeting of its Standards Board. The Sunshine Act requires federal advisory committees and agencies to publicize their meetings in advance, ensuring transparency and public access to governmental proceedings. The Standards Board is a statutory body established under the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) of 2002. It is composed of state and local election officials from across the United States and serves as an advisory body to the EAC on matters related to election administration, voting systems, and election standards. This notice signals that the Standards Board will convene to discuss election administration policies, potentially review or update voluntary voting system guidelines, and address ongoing issues in U.S. electoral processes. Members of the public may have the opportunity to observe or participate in accordance with Sunshine Act provisions.
