In FY 2005, EAC distributed $927,241,903 in HAVA funds to 25 states, and the report includes procedures for recordkeeping, reporting, and auditing HAVA funds as well as the establishment of an inspector general’s office.

The report includes the findings from several research projects and clearinghouse activities conducted in 2005 such as the 2004 Election Day Survey and the Impact of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993. It also outlined clearinghouse projects initiated in 2005, including the Legal Resources Clearinghouse, Election Management Guidelines, Vote Counts and Recounts, and Best Practices for Recruiting, Training and Retaining Poll Workers.

Goals for 2006 include establishing the national voting system certification program, conducting research and studies about election administration issues, developing future iterations of the voting system guidelines, and continuing to offer guidance, research findings and assistance to states.
