The Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA) was enacted by Congress and signed into law by President Bush on October 29, 2002. HAVA was a response to the irregularities in voting systems and processes unveiled during the 2000 Presidential Election. To address these irregularities, HAVA provided federal funding to the states to implement a statewide voter registration system, replace punch card voting machines, improve voter education and poll worker training, require provisional ballots, and require at least one voting machine per polling place be available to voters with disabilities. 

More information regarding HAVA can be found here.
