2024 EAC Clearinghouse Awards Submissions

The U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) is an independent, bipartisan commission whose mission is to help election officials improve the administration of elections and help Americans participate in the voting process. Established by the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA), the EAC is charged with developing guidance to meet HAVA requirements, adopting voluntary voting system guidelines, and serving as a national clearinghouse of information on election administration. The EAC also accredits testing laboratories and certifies voting systems, as well as audits the use of HAVA funds. 

Each year, the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) invites submissions for its national Clearinghouse Awards, or Clearies for short. Under the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA), the EAC is charged with serving as a clearinghouse for election administration information. By celebrating innovative efforts from state and local election offices, the Clearies helps the EAC to fulfill this important mission. Learn more at www.eac.gov.

2024 Prince William County Community Survey

The PWC Community Survey is a biennial survey which guides strategic decisions made by the Board of County Supervisors.

In 2024, survey results revealed that 94% of county residents were satisfied with their voting experience. From 2021 to 2024, the voting experience was the county’s most improved activity according to survey data. Additionally, the Office of Elections was the second highest department/service that county residents interacted with just behind libraries and just ahead of parks and recreation.

For more information, you can read the full 2024 community survey report here. For more information on the survey and past surveys, go to this page.

Many voters have called and emailed our office with concerns and complaints about this
messaging.
The decision to vote in any election is a personal choice left up to each voter, not a requirement to receive Social
Security benefits or keep the custody of your child.
The direct result of voting is very simple
-
selecting the public
officials that you want to represent your community on important issues.
The message conveyed by this organization could have been accomplished without confusing or upsetting voters,
but they specifically chose not to do that.
How do we know this?
They told us themselves when their Executive

As the Director of Elections for more than 300,000 voters,

working,
enthusiastic professionals who live in your community.
Voters should seek out official information channels like

Our dedicated staff are ready and willing to assist you.
The decision of any qualified person to vote or not is
entirely up to them
.
Any attempt to needlessly confuse or
scare voters into thinking otherwise is unnecessary.
With early voting, mail voting, and Election Day, there are
more options than ever to exercise that right.
We hope you participate in this process, and we are proud to assist
ANYONE looking to register or vote.
However, should you decide not to vote, you can make that choice knowing that no government official is going to
show up at your house the following week to revoke your medical coverage, seize your assets, or take your family
pet as a result.
That is not how voting works, and we would counsel organizations to be considerate and careful in
how they message voters.
Eric Olsen,
Director of Elections, Prince William County
