A major highlight was the certification of two voting systems to the latest Voluntary Voting System Guidelines (VVSG) available—  \nMission: To improve the administration  \nof federal elections.  \n Vision: Instill confidence and trust in elections that are safe, secure, accurate, accessible, and conducted with the highest standards of integrity.  \nVVSG 2.0. Due to significant investment and dedication of EAC staff, the agency met and exceeded expectations and timelines shared with the public.  \nAs of December 2025, there are five additional systems in test to VVSG 2.0 and the EAC will continue progress toward their certification throughout 2026. These are important steps toward seeing 2.0 systems in voting locations nationwide. Through this process, the EAC completed the biennial review of Voting System Test Laboratories (VSTL) accreditation. This includes review of materials and  \nEAC Commissioner Christy McCormick recites the Pledge of Allegiance with California Secretary of State Dr. Shirley Weber (left) and attendees of the EAC and Vet the Vote’s Poll Workers Helping Americans Vote event by the USS Iowa.
