What is the Help America Vote Act of 2002?
The Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA) was passed by Congress in response to the 2000 Presidential election.  HAVA required states to make many changes to elections including, but not limited to, making elections more accessible to people with disabilities, and providing for voters to check their ballots before being cast. HAVA mandated that voting equipment do much more than previous systems. Although Utah has never had a problem with its punch card system a change was needed to be in compliance with HAVA.
