with the Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment Act (MOVE Act). In 
accordance with HAVA section 254(a)(12), all the State plans submitted

succeeded in carrying out its previous State plan. Minnesota confirms 
that its amendments to the State plan were developed and submitted to 
public comment in accordance with HAVA sections 254(a)(11), 255, and 
256.
    Upon the expiration of thirty days from December 11, 2009, the
