As defined by Section 901 of HAVA, States (including the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, and the U.S. Virgin Islands) are eligible to apply for grants under the HAVA VOTE program. Grants are not available to local units of government directly from the Federal Government in Fiscal Year (FY) 2007 because funds have been appropriated only for grants to States.
