EAC recommends visitor rules and visible IDs for observers and temporary staff

Election Assistance Commission (EAC) training · June 3, 2026

Summary

The training recommends sign-in/out procedures, visible ID badges or vests, and staff training to spot tailgating when visitors or observers enter non-public areas of election offices.

The presenter advised that offices should have clear rules for managing visitors and observers when they're allowed into non-public areas and recommended using visible identifiers such as colored vests or ID badges so authorized visitors can be easily recognized. "Your office should have clear rules for managing visitors and observers when they're allowed in areas not typically open to the public," he said.

The module also recommended requiring visitors to sign in and out and training staff to watch for tailgating — where someone sneaks in behind an authorized person — as simple, low-cost measures to reduce risk.
