VT State Plan to Implement HAVA- May 16 2003 (PDF format)

Last November the United States Congress passed election reform legislation, the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA). This new law requires broad changes to the way Vermont conducts its elections. Most notably HAVA mandates the adoption of a statewide voter checklist, the acceptance of provisional ballots, the purchase of voting machines for every community that allow individuals with visual disabilities to vote privately and independently. It mandates extensive poll worker and voter education programs, and requires new voters to show identification when they register or vote. Vermont will be receiving five million dollars to assist the state and municipalities in meeting the new federal mandates.
