EAC OIG issued this advisory to alert EAC’s Interim Executive Director and Acting General Counsel about an identified risk. Specifically, EAC may be inadvertently providing inconsistent guidance to grantees and there is a risk that unallowable activities may be taking place because the terms “voter registration,” “voter education,” and “get-out-the-vote” (GOTV) are not defined in the Help America Vote Act of 2002. Also, EAC has not adopted its own formal definitions.
