SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 24, 2004, the U.S. Election 
Assistance Commission published in the Federal Register the original 
HAVA State plans filed by the fifty States, the District of Columbia 
and the Territories of American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. 
Virgin Islands. 69 FR 14002. HAVA anticipated that States, Territories 
and the District of Columbia would change or update their plans from 
time to time pursuant to HAVA section 254(a)(11) through (13). HAVA 
sections 254(a)(11)(A) and 255 require EAC to publish such updates.
    The submission from Virginia addresses a material change to the 
administration of their previously submitted State plan, specifically 
how the State will meet the voting system standards in HAVA section 
301(a). The document also provides information on how the State 
succeeded in carrying out the previous State plan, in accordance with 
HAVA section 254(a)(12).
    Upon the expiration of thirty days from September 12, 2005, 
Virginia will be eligible to implement the material change addressed in 
the plan that is published herein, in accordance with HAVA section 
254(a)(11)(C).
    EAC notes that the plan published herein has already met the notice 
and comment requirements of HAVA section 256, as required by HAVA 
section 254(a)(11)(B). EAC wishes to acknowledge the effort that went 
into revising the State plans and encourages further public comment, in 
writing, to the State election official of the individual States listed 
below.
