ELECTION ASSISTANCE COMMISSION
Proposed Rule of Agency Procedure No. 1: Procedures for Voting by
Circulation Version 2.0
AGENCY: U.S. Election Assistance Commission.
ACTION: Notice and request for public comment on Proposed Rule of
Agency Procedure No. 1: Procedures for Voting by Circulation Version
2.0.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) seeks public
comment on Proposed Rule of Agency Procedure No. 1: Procedures for
Voting by Circulation Version 2.0. EAC's current Proposed Rule of
Agency Procedure No. 1: Procedures for Voting by Circulation provide
the public with the process, including timelines on how EAC
Commissioners vote to approve matters requiring formal Commission
action that has not been placed on a meeting agenda. The policy
requires action within specified time periods to allow a thorough and
predictable time period for EAC Commissioners to consider the matter.
Because of the firm deadlines, the current policy limits EAC's ability
to address the rare situations that require swift action. The proposed
policy amends the Rule of Agency Procedure No. 1: Procedures for Voting
by Circulation to provide for unforeseeable circumstances that may
require deviation from the default timelines indicated.
DATES: Written comments must be submitted on or before 4 p.m. EDT on
June 1, 2010.
Comments: Public comments are invited on the information contained
in the policy. Comments on the proposed policy should be submitted
electronically to [email protected]. Written comments on the
proposed policy can also be sent to the U.S. Election Assistance
Commission, 1201 New York Avenue, NW., Suite 300, Washington, DC 20005,
ATTN: Proposed Rule of Agency Procedure No. 1: Procedures for Voting by
