The Help America Vote Act (HAVA) provides funds for improving the accessibility and quality of polling places. These grants were funded through the National Department of Health and Human Services, Administration on Development Disabilities (ADD), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Election Assistance for Individuals with Disabilities (EAID).
Of the available funding, a majority has been designated for physical, accessibility improvements to the polling place, such as automatic door openers, disability parking spaces, projects to make bathrooms accessible, ramps, etc. Money has also been designated for polling place enhancements, such as accessible voting booths, magnifiers, etc., to permit privacy and independence for the voter.
At this time, all EAID grant funds have been expended.
