Voter Eligibility Verification Act

Section 303 of the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) was designed to ensure that voter registration records contain basic identifying information. When an applicant has neither a driver’s license nor a Social Security number, however, the statute permits the state to assign a unique identifying number for voter registration purposes. That administrative fallback was meant to keep the registration process moving, not to substitute for substantive eligibility verification. States should clarify in law that applicants assigned a HAVA unique identifying number shall not be placed on the active voter rolls unless and until they provide documentary proof of United States citizenship.
