SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: Federal Write-In Absentee 

Ballot (FWAB), Standard Form 186 (SF– 

186); OMB Control Number 0704–0502. 

Needs and Uses: The information 

collection requirement is necessary to 

fulfill the requirement of the Uniformed 

and Overseas Absentee Voting Act 

(UOCAVA), 46 U.S.C. 1973ff wherein 

the Secretary of Defense is to prescribe 

the Federal write-in absentee ballot for 

absent uniformed service voters and 

overseas voters in general elections for 

Federal office. The Department of 

Defense, Under Secretary of Defense 

(Personnel and Readiness), Federal 

Voting Assistance Program, revised the 

SF 186, Federal Write-In Absentee 

Ballot and SF 186A, Federal Write-In 

Absentee Ballot (Electronic) to comply 

with Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

Households. 

Annual Burden Hours: 300,000. 

Number of Respondents: 1,200,000. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Average Burden per Response: 15 

minutes. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Respondents are UOCAVA citizens 

who desire to vote in a Federal election 

but did not receive an absentee ballot 

from their State of residency with 

enough time to vote and return it. The 

information provided by these citizens 

is used by the States to determine if the 

citizen is a resident of a jurisdiction 

within that State, has previously 

requested an absentee ballot (when 

applicable) and therefore eligible for the 

enclosed ballot to be counted. In States 

that allow the form to be used as a voter 

registration form, the information 

provided is used by the States to 

determine if the citizen is a resident of 

a jurisdiction within that State, and 

therefore eligible to vote within that 

jurisdiction and to provide absentee 

ballots to these citizens for Federal 

elections held within each calendar 

year. This form is mandated by 42 U.S.C 

1973ff. The Department of Defense does 

not receive, collect nor maintain any 

data provided on the form by these 

citizens; this data is collected and 

maintained by the individual States. 

The burden in the collection of this data 

resides in the individual States. If the 

form is not provided, UOCAVA citizens 

would not have access to the emergency 

backup ballot and thus, may be 

disenfranchised from their right as a 

U.S. citizen to participate in the 

electoral process. 

The previous edition of this form is 

dated 08–2013. The form had been 

updated for usability and consistency. 

The most significant changes to the form 

were the addition of the Agency 

Disclosure Statement and Block 2 

classification options. Comments are 

invited on the usability of the SF 186, 

Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot. 

Interested parties should locate the PDF 

form in the docket where it is available 

for download and testing.
