HAVA punch card timetable

["Paul Tiger - LPBC - Outreach" <outreach@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ivan,

This info comes from Drew Durham at the SoS office and should answer your
questions about end-of-life for the punch card devices:

Federal HAVA Law:
(1) Required replacement of punch card voting systems by the November 2004
presidential election;
(2) Provided limited funds/precinct;
(3) Specifically included the punch card voting system type deployed in
Boulder County in its definition of punch card voting systems;
(4) Permitted a state to extend replacement date to January 1, 2006.
(Colorado sought and received extension.)

State Law:
Punch Card Voting Systems or any voting systems that require a voter to
pierce a ballot may not be used in any election in Colorado after January 1,
2006.
