Administration of Payments Received Under the Help America Vote Act by the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
EAC OIG audited $134.8 million in funds received by Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania under the Help America Vote Act. The objectives of the audit were to determine whether Pennsylvania (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, for appropriating a 5 percent match for requirements payments, and for maintaining state expenditures for elections at a level not less than expended in fiscal year 1999.
