The Ventura County Election Advisory Committee (EAC) is an advisory body which gathers and provides community insight through public meetings. The Committee provides a community forum for County election issues, and may develop informational items and recommendations for review and consideration by the Board of Supervisors and the County Clerk-Recorder & Registrar of Voters. The Committee serves in a purely advisory role to the Board of Supervisors regarding the County's election process. The Committee will provide a public forum for the sharing of information and receipt of public input regarding the County's election process.  The Committee has no ability to direct how or when the Board of Supervisors and Registrar of Voters preforms their duties.

Public Comment

Public comment is the opportunity for members of the public to participate in meetings by addressing the Committee in connection with one or more agenda or non-agenda items. 

To maintain a public meeting environment conducive and welcoming to receiving public comments from all members of the public, the audience is discouraged from engaging in displays of support or opposition to staff reports or public comments, including clapping, yelling, booing, hissing or cheering, that may create a disruptive environment for members of the public wishing to participate. Any person who disrupts or impedes the orderly conduct of a meeting will be instructed to cease the disruptive conduct. Failure to do so may result in that person being removed from the meeting.

Members of the public who would like to augment their comments with visual or audio presentations using County equipment must submit their materials to the Clerk of the Board for review at least 24 hours before the meeting before use of County equipment will be allowed. The review will be conducted to determine only whether the materials are on matters within the jurisdiction of the Committee, would be disruptive of the meeting, or would foster illegality, such as identity theft. If it is determined the materials are about matters not within the Committee's jurisdiction, or would be disruptive of the meeting, or would foster illegality, use of County equipment will not be allowed.
