EAC approves rotation of chair and vice chair by voice vote
Summary
The Election Assistance Commission approved a motion to rotate leadership, moving Thomas Hicks into the chair role and Christy McCormick into the vice chair role, by voice vote; the commission will post the draft audit principles for public comment.
The Election Assistance Commission approved a motion to rotate its leadership by voice vote, with Commissioner Thomas Hicks to begin a one-year term as chair and Commissioner Christy McCormick to begin a one-year term as vice chair. Chairman Donald Palmer read the motion and Commissioner Ben Hovland moved it; Commissioner Christy McCormick seconded. The motion was approved after a voice vote during the meeting.
The vote was a procedural, voice vote and the transcript records multiple 'aye' responses but does not include a roll-call tally. The motion accompanies the commission's continuing work to post the draft audit principles for public comment; the commission signaled staff will post the draft and seek feedback from stakeholders.
Provenance: this action occurred during meeting wrap-up when the chair introduced the motion and the commission took a voice vote (topic introduction at SEG 1215; voice vote concluded by SEG 1228).
