Help America Vote Act

The "Help America Vote Act of 2002" (HAVA) is the broadest voting reform effort of the past generation. Created in the response to the deeply flawed 2000 election, HAVA impacts every part of the voting process, from voting machines to provisional ballots, from voter registration to poll worker training. The law may significantly improve the way America runs elections, or it may be corrupted by anti-democratic forces to further restrict participation and disenfranchise voters. >more>

The below resource pages are designed to help citizen activists, pro-democracy organizations and government officials implement HAVA in a way that will ensure the enfranchisement of all eligible citizens. If you have information that is not yet on the resource page, please contact us.
