SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Purpose: In accordance with the 

Government in the Sunshine Act 

(Sunshine Act), Public Law 94–409, as 

amended (5 U.S.C. 552b), the U.S. 

Election Assistance Commission (EAC) 

will conduct an official meeting on the 

Voluntary Voting System Guidelines 

(VVSG) 2.0. 

Agenda: The U.S. Election Assistance 

Commission (EAC) will hear a 

presentation about the VVSG 2.0 from 

EAC Executive Director Mona 

Harrington and will consider the VVSG 

2.0 for adoption. 

The full agenda will be posted in 

advance on the EAC website: https://

www.eac.gov. 

Background: The Federal Election 

Commission published the first two sets 

of federal standards in 1990 and 2002. 

The EAC then adopted Version 1.0 of 

the VVSG on December 13, 2005. In an 

effort to update and improve version 1.0 

of the VVSG, on March 31, 2015, the 

EAC commissioners unanimously 

approved VVSG 1.1. 

Throughout 2020, EAC staff worked 

with the National Institute of Standards 

and Technology (NIST), the EAC’s 

advisory boards, and gathered input 

from the public to advance the latest 

iteration of the VVSG. 

The EAC submitted the proposed 

VVSG 2.0 Requirements to the 

Standards Board and Board of Advisors 

executive committees for review on 

March 11th. The virtual annual meeting 

for the EAC Board of Advisors was held 

on July 17th, and the virtual annual 

meeting for the EAC Standards Board on 

July 31st. Both meetings focused on 

VVSG 2.0. The Standards Board passed 

a resolution recommending adoption of 

the VVSG 2.0 Requirements. 

VVSG 2.0 virtual hearings were held 

on March 27th, May 6th, and May 20th 

to accept feedback and testimony from 

stakeholders. 

On March 24th, the EAC initiated a 

90-day public comment period on the 

VVSG 2.0 Requirements which 

concluded on June 22nd. The EAC 

received 77 sets of comments and a total 

of 1,660 comments. The comments 

predominately focused on accessibility,
