2026 Election Survey: Bureaucrats Probe Voting Weirdness Nationwide

## Summary

The Election Assistance Commission is planning a big 2026 survey to learn how elections are run across the country. Election officials will answer questions about voting methods, technology, and policies to help improve future elections. They’re asking for public feedback by March 16, 2026, to make sure the survey is clear and not too much work.

## Abstract

In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) announces an information collection and seeks public comment on the provisions thereof. The EAC intends to submit this proposed information collection (2026 Election Administration and Voting Survey, or EAVS) to the Director of the Office of Management and Budget for approval. The 2026 EAVS asks election officials questions concerning voting and election administration, including the following topics: Voter registration; overseas and military voting; voting by mail; early in-person voting; polling operations; provisional voting; voter participation; election technology; election policy; and other related issues.
