DISCUSSION:
Federal Help America Vote Act (HAVA) Section 301 funding administered by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission funding is to assist the county in, or reimburse the county for, complying with the mandates of HAVA Section 301. The Election Department proposes to use this funding to purchase additional voting equipment for the implementation of the Voters Choice Act (VCA) voting model. The VCA offers voters more choices on how, when, and where they vote. This will expand services to vote centers across the county which were previously only available at the Elections Office in Eureka.
