Abstract: An annual report is required by Federal Statute (the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) of 2002, Public Law 107-252, Section 261, Payments to States and Local Units of Government, 42.U.S.C. 15421). Each State or Unit of Local Government that receives funding must prepare and submit an annual report at the end of every fiscal year. The report addresses the activities conducted with the funds provided during the year. The information collected from the annual report will be aggregated into an annual profile of how States have utilized the funds and establish best practices for election officials. It will also provide an overview of the State election goals and accomplishments and permit the Administration on Developmental Disabilities to track progress of voting accessibility to monitor grant activities.
