2. Identify the total expended by subrecipient for each Title III-related
activity in state fiscal year.10
Note: If no funds were expended by the
sub-recipient in state fiscal year 2000 for the
activities related to Title III, the State shall
maintain a record of such determination.
VIII. Satisfaction of MOE by SubRecipients
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
As the grant recipient, the State is
ultimately responsible for ensuring
compliance with the MOE, including
compliance by sub-recipients. The MOE
requirement is applicable to subrecipients in each fiscal year in which
the sub-recipient expends Title II
Requirements Payments. If no
Requirements Payments are used in a
fiscal year, there is no applicable MOE
requirement for that year. The State may
determine compliance with the MOE
requirements by its sub-recipients in
either of two manners:
1. The State may hold each subrecipient individually responsible for
meeting an applicable MOE requirement
by determining the sub-recipient
expends the same or greater local funds
than the sub-recipient’s base level of
expenditure 11 on either:
a. All election administration
activities.12
Or
b. Each HAVA activity (or activities)
on which the sub-recipient expends
funds as the corresponding base year
activity (or activities).13
Or
2. The State may assume
responsibility for meeting the MOE
fiscal year 2000 to establish the base level of
expenditure. It is not necessary to break out
activities related to Title III.
10 With this method, a sub-recipient needs to
identify separately the amount spent on any of the
following activities in state fiscal year 2000: Voting
equipment, voter registration database, ID
requirements, provisional voting, and voter
information.
11 In this method, the sub-recipient county or
local unit of government would be responsible for
the applicable MOE for any Requirements Payments
expended in a given fiscal year.
12 If the total local dollars expended by the subrecipient on election-related activities for a given
fiscal year are the same or greater than the total base
level, the sub-recipient will have met the MOE
requirement for that year.
13 The sub-recipient, for example, would need to
document that the sub-recipient expended in a
given fiscal year the same or more on each activity
on which Requirements Payments are expended
than the amount spent in each allowable area in
state fiscal year 2000: Voting equipment, voter
registration database, ID requirements, provisional
voting, and voter information. If the sub-recipient
does not spend any Requirements Payments on an
activity (say, voting equipment) in a particular
fiscal year, then the MOE requirement for that
activity (voting equipment) would not apply.

14 In this method, the State will absorb
responsibility by expending State dollars, in excess
of the State’s MOE requirement, to account for a
sub-recipient’s MOE.
15 The State, for example, must expend the same
or more State dollars in each applicable fiscal year
than the sub-recipient’s total base level.
16 The State in each applicable fiscal year, for
example, must expend the same or more in each
allowable area than the amount spent by the subrecipient in each allowable area in state fiscal year
2000: Voting equipment, voter registration database,
ID requirements, provisional voting, and voter
information. If the sub-recipient does not spend any
Requirements Payments on an activity (say, voting
equipment) in a particular fiscal year, then the MOE
