# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

*Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number:*                     Election Administration and Voting Survey (EAVS) Section B Data Standard (ESB Data Standard); OMB Control Number 0704-0597.                

*Needs and Uses:*                     To help better assist UOCAVA voters, FVAP and the Council of State Governments worked to refine a transformative new data schema called the Election Administration and Voting Survey (EAVS) Section B (ESB) Data Standard. The ESB Data Standard builds on other data standardization efforts and allows FVAP to analyze the three key parts of the voting process: (1) Ballot request, (2) ballot transmission, and (3) ballot return. With this transactional-level data, FVAP will be able to analyze the voters experience from start to finish, identifying drivers for success, and uncovering any areas within the UOCAVA voting process which could be improved upon.                

*Affected Public:*                     State, local, and tribal governments.                          ( print page 65373)
