Help America Vote Act

What is the Help America Vote Act?

The Help America Vote Act, or HAVA, was passed by Congress in October 2002 to making sweeping reforms to the nation's voting process. The Act addresses improvements to voting systems and voter access that were identified following the 2000 Presidential Election. It includes provisions for replacement of punchcard and lever voting systems, creation of centralized voter registration database, new voter identification requirements, access for people with disabilities, and enhanced voter outreach.
