SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 24, 2004, the U.S. Election

HAVA State plans filed by the 50 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 submissions from Iowa, Mississippi, and North Carolina address 
material changes to their original State plans. Iowa provides 
additional detail regarding various aspects of HAVA implementation. 
Mississippi addresses a change in the State's approach to procuring new 
voting equipment and provides an updated timeline for the 
implementation of the required statewide voter registration database. 
North Carolina provides a revised budget for the use of HAVA funds 
received. In accordance with HAVA section 254(a)(12), the documents 
also provide information on how the States succeeded in carrying out 
their previous State plan. Upon the expiration of 30 days from June 29, 
2005, Mississippi and North Carolina will be eligible to implement any 
material changes addressed in the State plan published herein, in 
accordance with HAVA section 254(a)(11)(C).
    EAC notes that the plans published herein have 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 the revising the State plan and encourages further public 
comment, in writing, to the chief election officials of Mississippi and 
North Carolina.
    Thank you for your interest in improving the voting process in 
America.
