This subchapter and its changes take effect once every member of the Election Assistance Commission has been appointed. Until then, the Federal Election Commission's Office of Election Administration keeps doing its usual work, including setting voting-system standards. Once appointed, the new Commission can borrow staff from other agencies to help the transfer go smoothly.

(a) Effective date: This subchapter, and the changes it makes, take effect once every member of the Election Assistance Commission has been appointed under section 20923. (b) Transition: With that entity's consent, the Election Assistance Commission may use the staff of the agencies whose functions were transferred to it, for as long as reasonably needed to make the transfer go smoothly. (c) No effect on authorities of Office of Election Administration prior to appointment of members of Commission: Between October 29, 2002, and the effective date described in (a), the Office of Election Administration keeps the authority to do everything it could do as of October 29, 2002 -- including developing voluntary voting-system standards and certification procedures.
