HAVA Grant Programs | U.S. Election Assistance Commission Monday, February 23, 2026 The Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA) established a program to provide federal funds to states and territories to upgrade voting systems and improve the administration of federal elections. The law also mandated the creation of the Election Assistance Commission to administer HAVA grant programs. Since 2003, the EAC has administered more than $4.
35 billion in HAVA formula funding to the states and territories, including Election Security and CARES funding totaling $1. 4 billion from 2018 to 2024. The EAC provides HAVA formula grants directly to states and U.S. territories to support the administration of elections for federal office and improvements to voting and election systems.
States and territories do not compete for the funds which are distributed based on predetermined formulas and eligibility requirements. States eligible to receive HAVA funds are defined in HAVA Section 901. The Northern Mariana Islands was added through the Appropriations Law of 2020.
HAVA Section 252 provides the formula for allocation of funding appropriated to states (42 US. C. § 15402) which is based on the state's proportionate share of voting age population.
"(b) State Allocation Percentage Defined. —The “State allocation percentage “for a State is the amount (expressed as a percentage) equal to the quotient of— (1) the voting age population of the State (as reported in the most recent decennial census); and (2) the total voting age population of all States (as reported in the most recent decennial census). (c) Minimum Amount of Payment.
—The amount of a requirements payment made to a State for a year may not be less than— (1) in the case of any of the several States or the District of Columbia, one-half of 1 percent of the total amount appropriated for requirements payments for the year under section 257; or (2) in the case of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, or the United States Virgin Islands, one-tenth of 1 percent of such total amount."
To be eligible to receive HAVA formula funds, a state must submit a letter requesting the funds, signed terms and conditions, a program narrative describing how funds will be used, and proposed budget. States must also be in compliance with all HAVA and federal requirements for their open HAVA grants.
