HAVA Heart - Release Early Voting Funds

In 2008, the State Board of Elections used more than $1 million in federal funds to expand Early Voting opportunities across North Carolina. The money came from HAVA (Help America Vote Act) funds. The Election boards uses this money to expand the number of early voting sites, improve equipment, train poll workers and improve access to polling places. Republican leaders in the General Assembly have frozen the HAVA account and won’t let the State Board of Elections use it to make sure that North Carolina doesn’t become the next Florida.

Tell the NC General Assembly to HAVA Heart and do what is necessary to release these HAVA Funds and increase voting opportunities and access in NC.
