DescTo improve the accuracy of Americas voting rolls, ERIC provided its members with access to information on voter registration records that were inaccurate or out-of-date due to voters changing residences. Members contacted these voters via mail in order to correct the inaccuracy or obtain information sufficient to inactivate or update the voters record. ERIC also provided information on voters who appeared to be deceased based on official death data from the Social Security Administration. To increase access to voter registration information, ERIC provided members with information identifying potentially eligible but unregistered individuals. Members contacted potentially eligible individuals via a mailing that included instructions for how to best register to vote. The mailing included the eligibility requirements and voter registration deadlines. Summary statistics and more information on these services are available at www.ericstates.org.Desc

Form And Line ReferenceFootnote for uncertain tax position under FIN 48 (Part X)FormAndLineReferenceDesc
ExplanationThe accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under that guidance, ERIC may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of ERIC and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income (UBIT). The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. There were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities at year end.ERICs policy would be to recognize interest and penalties, if any, on tax positions related to its unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the financial statements. No interest and penalties were assessed or recorded during the year. ERICs IRS Forms 990 that have been filed are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, generally for three years after they were filed.ExplanationTxt

Organizational document changes Part VI line 4The Organization amended its bylaws to reduce the resignation period from 91 days to 21 days and modified provisions pertaining to the protection of ERIC reports, member data, third-party data, and ERIC information.
Governing body decisions Part VI line 7bAll members of the Organization have a right but not the obligation to appoint a representative to the Board of Directors. This means a member may choose not to put a representative on the Board, and, as such, the size of the Board may or may not equal the size of the membership. Accordingly, the organization has a two-tiered governance model, meaning that some decisions are allocated to members and others to the Board of Directors. For example, the members and not the Board have the power to approve the dues schedule, and amend the bylaws, membership agreement, and certificate of incorporation.

In addition, annually, Directors are required to complete a conflict-of-interest disclosure form. In accordance with the Policy, the Board, any committee thereof, and the Executive Director review disclosures of covered transactions to determine if they meet the standard for approval; maintain documentation as may be necessary and appropriate to document the review of Form 990, Part VI, covered transactions; and, in the case of a committee or the Executive Director, report to the Board on any covered transaction approved in accordance with the Policy.
