	HAVA
		The HAVA is codified at 42 U.S.C. 15301 to 15545.
		The United States has enforced HAVA through both litigation and by informing jurisdictions of the Department's views on the Act's requirements.
		Under Section 261 and 291 of HAVA, the Department of Human Services is responsible for making grants to States and to protection and advocacy systems to improve access to and participation in the election process for individuals with disabilities.

	Help America Vote Act (HAVA) Report
		HAVA stipulates that all voting machines (which must be electronic by 2006 at the latest) must leave a paper trail, but it does not specify whether or not this trail must be voter-verified, i.e.
		HAVA requires all polling places to post certain information on election day, including but not limited to a sample ballot, instructions on how to cast a provisional ballot, polling place hours, general information on voting rights under state and federal laws, and instructions for first-time voters who registered to vote by mail.
		HAVA provides that voters who feel they are eligible to vote, but who are not cleared to vote by an election official, may cast a provisional vote, which will be counted according to procedures set by the state.

	Help America Vote Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		HAVA also guarantees the ability of individuals to cast a provisional ballot and have the validity of their registration checked later if they do not appear on voter registration rolls.
		HAVA was drafted (at least in part) in reaction to the dimpled ballots fiasco that accompanied the 2000 U.S. presidential election.
		Some have questioned its usefulness as it is understood to mandate electronic voting systems; automated systems were the cause of some of the problems at the last election.

	Election Updates: DOJ sues NY over HAVA
		The government’s complaint contends that the state has failed to comply with two of HAVA’s requirements governing federal elections: that states (i) adopt voting systems that are fully accessible by disabled voters and are capable of generating a permanent paper record that can be manually audited, and (ii) create a statewide computerized voter registration database.
		HAVA was enacted with bipartisan support after the 2000 presidential election and was signed into law by President Bush on October 29, 2002.
		HAVA was the first federal statute to provide federal funds to states to support reform of federal elections.

	California Secretary of State - Elections & Voter Information - Help America Vote Act
		And every person who votes a provisional ballot is provided free access to a system that maintains the confidentiality of the voter, while at the same time letting the person know if his or her ballot was counted, and, if it was not, why it was not counted.
		Any person voting for the first time who registers by mail who does not provide this information will be asked to show a form of identification when he or she goes to the polls, or to provide a copy of that identification with his or her absentee ballot.
		Finally, among HAVA’s most important contributions to the electoral process is the ability of voters to voice concerns and complaints by creating a formal mechanism to let elections officials hear those concerns and endeavor to resolve them.

	Why Congress Must Repeal the HAVA Act
		HAVA authorized $3.9 billion in Federal government monies to subsidize and promote replacement of the old lever-type and punch-card voting machines, with new electronic systems such as optical scanning and DRE (Direct Electronic Recording) touch-screens.
		During the so-called "debate" on the HAVA bill on the floor of the House, on Oct. 10, 2002, virtually no opposition was voiced, and apparently no one blew the whistle on the susceptibility of these systems to fraud and election-rigging.
		HAVA called for the appointment of an Election Assistance Commission (EAC) by February 2003, which was to oversee the establishment of standards for voting equipment.

	VotersUnite!
		HAVA requires the Federal Election Assistance Commission (EAC) to develop guidance on voting systems standards by January 1, 2004.
		Nevertheless, on May 10, 2005, in a response to a question from the Louisiana Secretary of State, the U.S. Department of Justice declared that HAVA "unambiguously requires" the States to have their new voting systems in place and ready for use in time to meet the "absolute" deadline of January 1, 2006.
		If the States' HAVA deadlines had a corresponding "flexibility," their need to purchase voting systems could be delayed for nearly two years.

	Brennan Center for Justice: HAVA Implementation
		Since HAVA was passed into law in October of 2002, every state has undergone substantial changes in its election laws and procedures.
		HAVA requires that, by January 1, 2006, each state develop a database of its registered voters, coordinated with other state databases, to ensure that voter registration lists are as complete and accurate as possible and that the right to vote is not jeopardized by administrative errors.
		Although provisional ballots were intended to ensure that every eligible voter has an opportunity to vote and to have his or her vote counted, a number of states have implemented provisional ballot systems in a way that creates election administration problems and results in the disenfranchisement of many eligible voters.
