HELP AMERICA VOTE ACT

HAVA Update

The Help America Vote Act, a bill that provides funding to the states for the improvement of elections, was signed into law by the President on October 29, 2002. The main aspects of the law-

  • Establish the Election Assistance Commission to provide assistance to the state in the administration of Federal election laws, Federal elections and Federal programs.
  • Establish minimum election administration standards for the administration of Federal Elections.
  • Require states to develop a "State Plan" detailing how the law would be implemented.
  • Provide funding to purchase or lease one accessible voting system for each poll.
  • Provide funding to assist in the replacement of punch card systems.
  • Provide funding for "Second Chance" voting, which is providing the opportunity for voters to change the ballot, or correct any error before the ballot is cast.
