EAC OIG audited $143.5 million in funds received by the Illinois State Board of Elections under the Help America Vote Act. The objectives of the audit were to determine whether Illinois (1) expended HAVA payments in accordance with the ACT and related administrative requirements and (2) complied with the HAVA requirements for replacing punch card or lever voting machines, for establishing an election fund, and for maintaining state expenditures for elections at a level not less than expended in fiscal year 2000.
