Voting Reform
The Help America Vote Act (HAVA–P.L.107-252) requires individuals registering to vote to provide a driver’s license number or the last four digits of the applicant's Social Security Number. HAVA also specifies that a state election official and motor vehicle authority must match the information in the registration database with that in the driver’s license database. In addition, HAVA requires the state motor vehicle agency to enter into an agreement with the Social Security Administration to verify voter registration information.

Help America Vote Verification (HAVV)
Section 303 of Public Law 107-252 (Help America Vote Act of 2002) requires states and localities to develop centralized, computerized voter databases and to verify voter registration information. Individuals registering to vote must provide their driver's license number to the state election agency. The Help America Vote Verification (HAVV) transaction allows a motor vehicle administration (MVA) to submit an inquiry to the Social Security Administration (SSA). The SSA verifies the information and responds back to the MVA with the results.
