About Help America Vote Act
- HAVA was passed by the U.S. Congress in 2002 to make reform to the nation's voting process and to create mandatory minimum standards for states to follow in several areas of election administration. The law provided for funding to help states meet the new standards.
- HAVA also established the Election Assistance Commission to assist states in meeting HAVA compliance and to distribute the funds, as well as, other functions.
