SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Post-Election Voting Survey
of State Election Officials; OMB Control Number 0704-0643.
Needs and Uses: The primary objective of the Post-Election Voting
Survey of State Election Officials, conducted on behalf of the Federal
Voting Assistance Program (FVAP), is to gather feedback from the State
Election Officials (SEOs) responsible for administering the Uniformed
and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA) on behalf of the
military and overseas voters. This customer service focused survey will
help FVAP understand how it can best engage election officials and
identify areas where its processes can be improved. This ongoing
evaluation will help determine the extent to which FVAP is achieving
its mission and what actions FVAP might be able to take in the future
to improve its products and services. Conducting this research will
help FVAP meet its federal and congressional mandates in terms of
ensuring that UOCAVA voters are receiving adequate support from state
officials in the registration and voting process for federal elections.
The data obtained through this study is also intended to provide
insights into existing barriers to UOCAVA voting and recommendations
for addressing these challenges. To obtain the necessary information,
the Post-Election Voting Survey of State Election Officials project
will use data collected from the population of SEOs from all 50 U.S.
States, the District of Columbia, and the four U.S. territories covered
under UOCAVA: Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, and the U.S. Virgin
Islands.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Annual Burden Hours: 13.75 hours.
Number of Respondents: 55.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 55.
Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes.
Frequency: Biennially.
Dated: September 22, 2026.
