Dear Reader:

The United States Election Assistance Commission's (EAC) 2008 biennial Election
Administration and Voting Survey included a Statutory Overview survey. This survey
gathered qualitative information on State definitions, laws, processes, and procedures
relating to the administration of election in the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and
four territories. The Statutory Overview was designed to help the EAC and its
stakeholders better understand and analyze the quantitative data collected through the
Election Administration and Voting Survey; this information served as the basis for the
attached summary report.

The Statutory Overview report was created by the Research Triangle Institute (RTI), the
contractor also responsible for the 2008 Election Administration and Voting Survey.
Each of the States and territories were given an opportunity to review the information
contained in the report and revisions to the draft report were made based on feedback
received from the States.

While the analyses contained in RTI's report do not necessarily represent the views of
EAC, we encourage the reader to review, in particular, the various compendium tables
contained in the report and to directly contact a State with questions regarding this
information.

This report provides the reader with a good understanding of the variations in how States
administer elections and how State statute determines how an election is administered.

Sincerely,





Thomas R. Wilkey
Executive Director
U.S. Election Assistance Commission
