Federal, State and Local Election Information for Voter Registration and Identification Help America Vote Act Help America Vote Act (HAVA - 2002) is a federal program that reformed aspects of the United States election system. The law was prompted by voting issues encountered in the contested Presidential election of 2000. HAVA has four components, including: • Budgeting nearly three billion dollars to U.S. states to replace punch card voting systems • Creating the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) to assist in the administration of Federal elections • Providing assistance with the administration of certain Federal election laws • Establishing minimum election administration standards. Voter Identification: State Requirements Under the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), every state must at least follow the minimal federal voting ID guidelines which are listed below. It is recommended that those without ID register to vote in person at their local registration office to avoid being turned away on Election Day. 47
