On Wednesday, the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) released two quick start management guides for election officials. According to the EAC, these newest Quick Start Management Guides are part of a series of brochures designed to highlight and summarize the information contained in the chapters of the EAC's Election Management Guidelines (EMG). The first—the Quick Start Management Guide on Uniformed and Overseas Voters — offers guidance on serving overseas voters, including communication strategies for securing and managing the voter registration and ballot transmission process. The second guide — the Quick Start Management Guide for Developing an Audit Trail— outlines the EAC's recommendations for establishing and managing a process that properly documents all aspects of an election.
