All votes in the Puerto Rico primary election on June 1 and the Montana and South Dakota primaries on June 3 will be cast on voter-marked paper ballots. There will be no post-election audits of any of these primaries.
2008 will see the first federal elections in which Puerto Rico implements its HAVA plan. Puerto Rico has over 2.3 million registered voters, and the June 1 Democratic primary will be open to all voters.
Puerto Rico received less than $1 per voter in HAVA funds, and for many years the commonwealth has offered Braille tactile ballot sleeves for voters with vision disabilities. This year, Braille sleeves will be used, and the Election Commission states that the IVS Vote by Phone system will be offered in 27 vote centers in the primary. Puero Rico counts all ballots by hand.
