-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Pursuant to sections 254(a)(11)(A) and 255(b) of the Help 
America Vote Act (HAVA), Public Law 107-252, the U.S. Election 
Assistance Commission (EAC) hereby causes to be published in the 
Federal Register material changes to the HAVA State plan previously 
submitted by West Virginia.

DATES: This notice is effective upon publication in the Federal 
Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bryan Whitener, Telephone 202-566-3100 
or 1-866-747-1471 (toll-free).
    Submit Comments: Any comments regarding the plan published herewith 
should be made in writing to the chief election official of the 
individual State at the address listed below.

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. EAC 
has not previously published an update to the West Virginia State plan 
in the Federal Register.
    The submission from West Virginia addresses material changes in the 
administration of its previously submitted State plan and, in 
accordance with HAVA section 254(a)(12), provides information on how 
the State succeeded in carrying out the previous State plan. The 
current submission from West Virginia addresses a material change to 
the attachments of their previously submitted State plan, including a 
Request for Proposal to explain the voting system vendor selection 
process. The amendment also includes the State Rules passed by the West 
Virginia State Legislature in relation to the loan fund provided by the 
State Election Commission for the purchase of voting equipment, 
software and services by counties.
    Upon the expiration of thirty days from February 1, 2006, West 
Virginia will be eligible to implement the material changes 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 plan and encourages further public comment, in 
writing, to the State election official listed below.
