1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Positioning the Election Assistance Commission for the Future Act of 2023 . 2. Findings relating to the administration of the Election Assistance Commission Congress finds the following: (1) The Election Assistance Commission best serves the American people when operating within its core statutory functions, including serving as a clearinghouse for information on election administration, providing grants, and testing and certifying election equipment. (2) The American people are best served when Federal agency election assistance is offered by a single agency with expertise in this space. The Election Assistance Commission, composed of four election experts from different political parties, is best situated among the Federal government agencies to offer assistance services to citizens and to guide other Federal agencies that have responsibilities in the elections space. The Commission is also best suited to determine the timing of the issuance of any advisories and to disburse all appropriated election grant funding. (3) To this end, Congress finds that the Election Assistance Commission should be viewed as the lead Federal government agency on all election administration matters, and other Federal agencies operating in this space should look to the Commission for guidance, direction, and support on election administration-related issues. 3.
