Election Administration
While states are tasked with writing their own election laws so long as they meet HAVA requirements, the question remains as to whether a county may make additional mandates beyond state laws. The EAC released its annual report on grants, which help states become compliant with HAVA. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court of Florida ruled on the constitutionality of county charter amendments, finding that counties may add requirements like more election audits and bans on specific voting systems.
