Title and OMB Number: National Voter Registration Act (NVRA)
Regulations for Voter Registration Application; OMB Number 3265-0015.
Needs and Uses: Persons wishing to register to vote may use the
National Mail Voter Registration form (``Federal form'' or ``form'') to
apply for voter registration. After completing the form, an applicant
submits her/his form to their respective state election office for
processing. States covered by the NVRA process the information from the
form to register an applicant to vote. Neither EAC nor any other
Federal agency processes or collects any information from the Federal
form that a registration applicant submits to a state. Rather, EAC
prescribes the Federal form, and states collect and record the
information applicants submit. The Federal form is composed of the
registration application, instructions for completing the application
(General Instructions and Application Instructions), and state-specific
instructions that identify each state's particular requirements. A copy
of the current form in English and 20 additional translated languages
is available on EAC's website, at <a href="https://www.eac.gov/voters/national-mail-voter-registration-form">https://www.eac.gov/voters/national-mail-voter-registration-form</a>.
Affected Public (Respondents): U.S. citizens eligible to vote in
jurisdictions that accept and use the National Mail Voter Registration
form.
Number of Respondents: 2,500,000.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Estimated Burden per Response: 0.12 hours per response.
