In this episode of Protecting Your Vote, host J. Christian Adams welcomes U.S. Election Assistance Commissioner Donald Palmer for an in-depth conversation about the role of the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) in safeguarding the integrity of American elections.
Commissioner Palmer discusses how the EAC has helped maintain uniform voting standards across the country, offering critical support to states as they navigate an increasingly complex electoral landscape. The discussion also explores the relationship between the federal government and secretaries of state, shedding light on how collaboration has improved election administration.
From setting voluntary voting system guidelines to offering resources and technical assistance, the EAC plays a vital role in helping states run secure and accessible elections. Commissioner Palmer also shares encouraging updates on how many states have strengthened their electoral practices over the last several years. These improvements, he notes, are essential to voter confidence and ensuring transparency in the democratic process.
