Election officials at a crossroad

The Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA) requires election officials in each state to clean up voter rolls and maintain consistent information identifying registered voters. They must maintain a centralized, statewide voter registration database and implement procedures for identifying duplicate registrations. Many states have followed with their own legislation placing new requirements on election officials for voter registration and election management.

But many election officials are encumbered by aging election management systems that are costly to maintain and modify, and lack the openness to connect with other sources of information needed to identify voters and eliminate duplicate registrations.

HP offers both commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) systems as well as custom designed HAVA-compliant solutions for voter registration and election management providing an alternative to continuing to invest in updating legacy technology.
