As promised in the State of the Union, President Obama has signed an executive order establishing a voting commission to improve access to and efficiency at the polls, a response to the hours-long lines some voters suffered through in the fall.

The commission will have nine members, appointed by the president. The two co-chairs are the chief lawyers representing the candidates in the 2012 election: Ben Ginsburg of the Mitt Romney campaign and Ben Bauer of the Obama campaign.

Their report is “intended to serve as a best practices guide for state and local election officials to improve voters’ experience at the polls under their existing election laws,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Thursday.

Among other things, the commission will investigate the management and number of polling places, the training and number of poll workers, voting machine technology, provisional and absentee ballot issues and ballot simplicity.
