In general, as with equipment, states follow their own laws and procedures for using, managing, and disposing of unused supplies and should use residual supplies to support other federal grant activities before donating them to non-federally supported activities. However, this is not a requirement and states should set their own policies for disposition of unused supplies under the $5,000 aggregate threshold.

How the U.S. Election Assistance Commission Facilitates Fair and Secure Elections

The U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) is an independent, bipartisan commission charged with facilitating secure, accurate, and accessible elections by developing guidelines to meet the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) requirements, adopting voluntary voting system guidelines, testing voting systems, accrediting test laboratories, and serving as a national clearinghouse of information on election administration.
