  • Request for Comment: Election Audit Standards (Deadline)
    Date: April 27, 2026
    Location: Online
    Category: Submission Deadline

    The U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) is requesting public comment on the Voluntary National Election Audit Standards. Election audits are used to evaluate and improve the accuracy, security, and administration of elections. Because election administration in the United States is highly decentralized, audit practices vary across states and local jurisdictions. The proposed standards provide voluntary, principle-based guidance intended to be adaptable across differing legal frameworks, election systems, and resource environments.
