Additional General Election Related Reports
Under the federal Help America Vote Act of 2002, the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) is required to submit to Congress reports on various election activities, including voter registration, provisional voting, and voting by military and overseas citizens. To complete its reports, the EAC requires each State to provide certain election related data.
In July 2020, the EAC distributed the 2020 Election Administration and Voting Survey for states to complete for the November 3, 2020 election. In response to the survey, the State submitted this Excel spreadsheet.
