Title: Help America Vote Act (HAVA) Voting Access Application and
Annual Report.
OMB No: 0970-0327.
Description: This is a revision to include the application for the
previously cleared Help America Vote Act (HAVA) Annual report, Payments
to States and Units of Local Government (42 U.S.C. 15421).
The Help America Vote Act (HAVA) application to States and Units of
Local Government is required by Federal statute and regulation. Each
State or Unit of Local Government must prepare an application to
receive funds under the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), Public Law 107-
252, Title II, Subtitle D, Part 2, Sections 261 to 265, Payments to
States and Units of Local Government to Assure Access for Individuals
with Disabilities (42 U.S.C. 15421-25). The application is provided in
writing to the Administration for Children and Families, Administration
on Developmental Disabilities.
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 Units of Local Government, 42 U.S.C. 15421). Each State or
Unit of Local Government 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 voting progress
to monitor grant activities.
