U.S. ELECTION ASSISTANCE COMMISSION (EAC) 

2022 Election Administration and Voting Survey (EAVS) 

The ongoing process of improving the United States’ election systems relies in part on having 

accurate data about the way Americans cast their ballots. In 2002, Congress chartered the U.S. 

Election Assistance Commission (EAC) to collect information on the state of American elections and 

to make that information widely available to policymakers, advocates, scholars, journalists, and the 

general public. Since 2004, the EAC has sponsored a biennial survey as its primary tool for fulfilling 

its information collection mission. We are pleased to present the 2022 Election Administration and 

Voting Survey (EAVS), and we ask for your help in making it the most complete and accurate survey 

in its history.

The questions in this survey ask for information about ballots cast, voter registration, overseas and 

military voting, mail voting, Election Day activities, voting technology, and other important issues.

The EAC recognizes the burden that asking for these data places on state and local election officials, 

and we have worked to minimize that burden as much as possible. In advance, we thank you for your 

cooperation and look forward to answering any questions you might have.

The section concerning the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA) 

serves as the EAC’s standardized format for state reporting of UOCAVA voting information as 

required by 52 U.S.C. §20302. States that complete and timely submit this section to the EAC will 

fulfill their UOCAVA reporting requirement under 52 U.S.C. §20302(c).

Additionally, the EAC is mandated by the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) to collect 

information from states concerning the impact of that statute on the administration of federal 

elections. With this information, the EAC is required to make a report to Congress and provide 

recommendations for the improvement of federal and state procedures, forms, and other NVRA 

matters. States that respond in a timely manner to all questions in this survey concerning voter 

registration-related matters will meet their NVRA reporting requirements under 52 U.S.C. §20508

and EAC regulations.

Instructions for Completing the 2022 Election Administration and Voting Survey 

1. This survey collects information on election administration in local election offices that are 

responsible for the administration of the November 2022 general election. All data should be 

reported at the local jurisdiction level. However, the state- or territorial-level election office may 

fill out any or all of the information on behalf of the local election offices under its jurisdiction.

2. Read a section in its entirety before answering any of the questions in that section, paying close 

attention to terminology definitions and instructions about what data should be included for each 

question. 

3. Do not leave items blank—always provide an answer to the question. If needed, use responses, 

such as “Data not available” or “Does not apply” (if you do not have the necessary data to 

provide an answer to a question), or use the “Other” categories for a question (if you have 

additional data to report that is not covered by one of the existing categories in a question).

4. Please attempt to record data according to the categories as they are defined in the question. If 

your jurisdiction uses a different data classification scheme (for instance, your jurisdiction 

collects data in such a way that combines two or more categories listed in a question), then you 

can use the space for “Other” to provide numbers and details for these categories. If you report

information in the “Other” field, please use the comment box to provide an explanation for the 

answer.

5. Use comment boxes as needed to provide additional context and nuance to the data you report. 

This includes any explanations about the quality of the data you are providing. These comments 

will assist the EAC in analyzing and presenting your data accurately. All comments you provide 

will be made public when the survey data are released, and the information submitted in your 

comments may be replicated in reports and other research products released by the EAC. 

Because these comments will be public, they should be written so they are understandable to 

readers who are not familiar with your state’s election policy and practices. Comments should 

not include any sensitive information or personally identifiable information (PII), and any 

acronyms in your comments should be explained.

Section A: Voter Registration 

The goal of Section A is to understand the ways in which individuals registered to vote in each 

jurisdiction between 2020 and 2022 and the efforts made to remove individuals who should no 

longer be registered.

This section of the EAVS asks for four types of data:

1. How many individuals were registered to vote for the 2022 general election?

2. How many voter registration forms were processed between the close of registration for the 

2020 general election and the close of registration for the 2022 general election? 

3. How many confirmation of registration notifications did your jurisdiction send to registered 

voters between the close of registration for the 2020 general election and the close of 

registration for the 2022 general election? 

4. How many registered voters were removed from the voter registration rolls between the close 

of registration for the 2020 general election and the close of registration for the 2022

general election?

[Survey begins on next page]

The EAC is mandated by the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) to collect information from 

states concerning the impact of that statute on the administration of federal elections. With this 

information, the EAC is required to make a report to Congress and provide recommendations for 

the improvement of federal and state procedures, forms, and other NVRA matters. States that 

respond in a timely manner to all questions in this survey concerning voter registration-related 

matters will meet their NVRA reporting requirements under 52 U.S.C. §20508 and EAC 

Answer All Questions 

Please provide an answer to all of the items in Section A. 

• If the question is not applicable to your state or jurisdiction, use the code -88 (negative 

88, or “Does not apply”) as your response. 

o Example: If your state or jurisdiction does not categorize registered voters as 

inactive, then enter -88 (negative 88) as the response to question A1c. 

• If the question is applicable to your state but your jurisdiction does not have the data 

necessary to answer the question, use the code -99 (negative 99, or “Data not available”) 

as your response.

o Example: If your state or jurisdiction has same-day registration (SDR) but does not 

track the number of SDRs received on Election Day separately from those 

received before Election Day, then enter -99 (negative 99) as the response to A2b 

and A2c. 
OMB Control No. 3265-0006 Expiration Date 04/30/2025 3 

Total Registrations: Questions A1 and A2 

Questions A1 and A2 ask about individuals who were registered and eligible to vote in the 2022

general election. This includes all individuals who were registered to vote and who were included on 

the final voter registration rolls for the election. For states with Election Day voter registration, 

include all individuals who registered to vote through the close of the polls on Election Day.

Please do not include: 

• Individuals who registered to vote after the close of registration for the 2022 general election 

and who were not eligible to vote in the 2022 general election, or 

• Persons under the age of 18 who registered under a pre-registration program.

If your jurisdiction’s number includes any special groups or situations that we should be aware of, 

please use the A1 Comments box to explain. 

A1. Total Number of Registered and Eligible Persons, Active and Inactive 

For question A1, report the total number of people (not votes or ballots) who were registered and 

eligible to vote in the November 2022 general election. If your jurisdiction differentiates between 

active and inactive voters, report the number of active voters in A1b and inactive voters in A1c. If 

your state does not make this differentiation, report the total number of registered voters again in 

A1b and enter -88 (negative 88) as the response to A1c. The sum of active voters in A1b and inactive 

voters in A1c should equal the total number of registered voters reported in A1a.

Type of Registered Voter Total 

A1a. TOTAL number of registered and eligible voters:

Do not include individuals who registered after the 2022 deadline for 

registration or individuals under the age of 18 who may have registered 

under a pre-registration program.

A1b. TOTAL number of active voters: 

Fully eligible voters who had no additional processing requirements to 

fulfill before voting.

A1c. TOTAL number of inactive voters: 

Voters who were eligible to vote but required address verification under 

the provisions of the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA). 

A1 Comments: 
OMB Control No. 3265-0006 Expiration Date 04/30/2025 4 

A2. Same-Day Voter Registration 

For question A2, report the number of registration forms received from individuals who registered to 

vote on the same day that they cast a ballot in person—also known as same-day registration (SDR) or 

Election Day registration (EDR)—for the 2022 general election. This includes jurisdictions in states 

that have a formal policy allowing for SDR or EDR, jurisdictions whose registration period overlaps 

with early voting, and jurisdictions that permit SDR or EDR only in special circumstances (e.g., for 

federal offices only or for individuals who moved between states after a registration deadline in a 

presidential election year). A period of overlap between the mail balloting period and the close of 

voter registration should not be considered SDR or EDR for the purposes of this question. 

Note that this question is about registration forms and not ballots cast or votes. Both new 

registrations and registration updates that were collected through SDR and EDR should be reported 

in this question. 

If your state’s laws allowed any voters to register and then vote on the same day, report the total 

number of registration forms received on those days that it was possible to both register for and vote 

in the November 2022 general election on the same day in A2a. For questions A2b and A2c, 

separate the total number of SDRs reported in A2a into those received on Election Day and those 

received before Election Day. These amounts should sum to the total provided in A2a. If you are 

unable to distinguish between these categories or are unable to provide this breakdown, complete 

A2a and enter -99 (negative 99, or “Data not available”) for A2b–A2c. If data are reported in A2b and 

A2c, the sum of the two items should equal the total number of SDRs reported in A2a.

Type of Same-Day Registration Total 

A2a. TOTAL same-day registrations received

A2b. Same-day registrations received on Election Day

A2c. Same-day registrations received before Election Day (e.g., during 

early voting)

A2 Comments: 

Registration Forms Processed: Questions A3–A7 

These questions ask about the number of registration forms processed in your jurisdiction from the 

close of registration for the November 2020 general election through the close of registration for the 

November 2022 general election. For example, a state with a voter registration deadline of 15 days 

before Election Day should include all forms received 14 days before the 2020 Election Day through 

15 days before the 2022 Election Day. In states with SDR or Election Day registration, all 

registrations received after the close of the polls on Election Day in 2020 until the close of the polls 

on Election Day 2022 should be included in your answers.
OMB Control No. 3265-0006 Expiration Date 04/30/2025 5 

A3. Total Registration Forms Processed: 2020 to 2022 

For question A3a, report the total number of forms your jurisdiction received from all sources 

between the close of registration for the November 2020 general election until the close of 

registration for the November 2022 general election. Include any forms that were processed, such 

as duplicates, pre-registrations, or changes to name, political party, or address. If applicable, also 

include any SDRs or EDRs and any registrations from special categories of voters who may have had 

an extended voter registration deadline, such as returning military personnel. Then, divide the total 

number of forms received (A3a) into the categories listed in A3b through A3g. Use items A3h–A3j for 

any registration forms that cannot be placed into any of the categories specified in A3b through A3g. 

SDRs, EDRs, and special category voter registrations should be included in the appropriate category 

(e.g., new valid registration or change of name).

Type of Registration Form Received Total 

A3a. TOTAL registration forms received:

All registration forms received between the close of registration for the 

November 2020 general election and the close of registration for the 

November 2022 general election.

A3b. New valid registrations (excluding pre-registrations of persons under 

the age of 18): 

All successful registrations that were not invalidated or rejected and did 

not duplicate or modify a previously existing registration in the jurisdiction.

A3c. New pre-registrations of persons under the age of 18:

All registrations submitted by persons under the age of 18 so that they will 

be registered when they become of voting age.

A3d. Duplicates of existing valid registrations:

Voter registration applications submitted by persons already registered to 

vote at the same address, under the same name and personal information 

(e.g., date of birth, social security number, driver’s license), and with the 

same political party (where applicable).

A3e. Invalid or rejected registrations (other than duplicates):

Registrations that did not meet the requirements of eligibility because they 

were not completed properly, or the individual was excluded from being 

able to register in a jurisdiction.

A3f. Changes to name, political party, or within-jurisdiction address 

change: 

Registrations that modified or edited voter information for individuals with 

current valid registrations.

A3g. Address changes that crossed jurisdiction border:

Registrations that modified or edited the address of persons with current 

valid registrations, for which the address change placed them in a 

different jurisdiction (such as a different county) from their current 

registration.

Type of Registration Form Received Total 

A3 Comments:

A4–A7. Total Registration Forms Processed by Source 

For question A4, divide the total number of voter registration forms reported in question A3a into the 

listed sources through which the form was received. Then, for each source, divide the forms into the 

categories of new registrations (A5), duplicates of an existing registration (A6), and invalid or rejected 

registrations (A7). 

Questions A6 and A7 are mutually exclusive—duplicate registrations included in A6 should not be 

included as invalid or rejected registrations in A7 and vice versa.

For subitems a–l, it is important to focus on the mode used to submit the registration application. 

These modes are intended to be mutually exclusive. For example, if the voter submits a registration 

form online using the state’s online voter registration portal, this is an online voter registration and 

the total number received from this mode should be entered in A4c. This would be considered an 

online voter registration even if the voter accessed the online voter registration system at a state 

public assistance office or at the office of an agency that primarily serves individuals with disabilities. 

In addition, it does not matter which agency hosts the voter registration system. For example, if your 

state motor vehicle office hosts the online voter registration system, then an application through the 

system is still considered an online voter registration application, not an application from the motor 

vehicle office. 

For A4c—A7c (registrations submitted online), only include registration forms that were completed 

and submitted through a web-based online voter registration system. A form that was filled out 

online but submitted via email or printed and submitted via mail should be included under A4a, A5a, 

A6a, or A7a, “Individual voters submitting applications by mail, fax, or email.”

SDRs should be categorized according to the mode used to submit the registration application. For 

example, if a voter submits an SDR form at an election/registrar’s office, it would be considered an 

individual voter registering in person at the election/registrar’s office and should be entered in A4b.

If a voter submits an SDR form at a polling place, it would be considered a separate category and 

should be entered under “Other” in either A4j, A4k, or A4l.

Confirmation of Registration Notices and Removals: Questions A8 and A9 

These questions ask about the total number of confirmation notices sent to voters. A confirmation 

notice is defined as a notice mailed to a voter who may no longer be eligible to vote in the jurisdiction 

in which they are currently registered. Many states send these notices under the NVRA Section 8 (d) 

(1) (B) and Section 8 (d) (2); other states may send these notices for other reasons. Although NVRA 

distinguishes between “confirmation notices” and “removal notices,” some jurisdictions refer to 

“confirmation notices” as “removal notices” or something else. All confirmation notices sent to

voters should be reported in this section, regardless of whether they were sent specifically to comply 

with NVRA. If your state sends confirmation notices for non-NVRA reasons, describe them in the A8 

Comments box. 

A8. Total Confirmation of Registration Notices Sent to Voters 

For question A8a, report the total number of confirmation notices sent to voters in the period 

between the close of registration for the November 2020 general election and the close of 

registration for the November 2022 general election. Examples of situations in which confirmation 

notices may be sent include an indication that the registrant no longer resides in the registrar’s 

jurisdiction, or the voter has not voted or appeared to vote in a federal election during the period.

Next, for questions A8b–A8e, divide the total number of confirmation notices mailed (as reported in 

A8a) into the listed categories. Use items A8f–A8h for notices that cannot be placed into any of the 

categories specified in A8b–A8e. The amounts in A8b–A8h should sum to the total provided in A8a.

[Survey continues on next page]
OMB Control No. 3265-0006 Expiration Date 04/30/2025 9 

Type of Confirmation Notice Total 

A8a. TOTAL number of confirmation notices sent to registered voters: 

The total number of registration confirmation notices sent to voters during 

the time period between the close of registration for the November 2020

general election through the close of registration for the November 2022

general election. 

A8b. Notices received back from voter confirming registration: 

The total number of notices returned that confirmed an individual was still 

eligible to vote in the jurisdiction.

A8c. Notices received back from voter confirming registration should be 

invalidated: 

The total number of notices returned that confirmed an individual was no 

longer eligible to vote in the jurisdiction or no longer wanted to be 

registered to vote. 

A8d. Notices returned as undeliverable: 

The total number of notices returned to the election office because the 

U.S. Postal Service (USPS) could not deliver the notice to the voter. 

A8f. Other:

A8g. Other: 

A8h. Other: 

A8e. Unreturned confirmation notices (neither received back from voters

nor returned as undeliverable): 

Any notice that was sent to a voter but was not received back confirming 

registration (A8b), confirming invalidation (A8c), or returned as 

undeliverable (A8d).

A9. Total Voters Removed From the Registration Rolls: 2020 to 2022 

For question A9a, report the total number of voters removed from the voter registration rolls in your 

jurisdiction in the period between the close of registration for the November 2020 general election 

and the close of registration for the November 2022 general election. Note that this question asks 

for those removed from the list of registered voters, not those moved to an “inactive” registration 

status.

Next, for questions A9b–A9g, divide the total number of voters removed from the voter registration 

rolls (as reported in A9a) into the listed categories. Use items A9h–A9j for removals that cannot be 

placed into any of the categories specified in A9b–A9g. The amounts in A9b–A9j should sum to the 

total provided in A9a.

A9c. Death

Reason for Removal Total 

A9a. TOTAL number of voters removed from the voter registration rolls: 

Include only individuals who were completely removed from the list of 

registered voters, not records that were moved to an inactive list.

A9b. Moved outside of jurisdiction

A9d. Disqualifying felony conviction

A9h. Other: 

A9e. Failure to respond to confirmation notice sent and failure to vote in 

the two most recent federal elections 

A9f. Voter declared mentally incompetent

A9g. Voter requested to be removed for reasons other than those listed 

above

Section B: Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA) 

The goal of Section B is to understand the voters covered under the Uniformed and Overseas 

Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA) in your jurisdiction. The questions in this section of the survey 

reflect the need to fully understand the UOCAVA voting process, which serves an important 

population segment of the American electorate. This section of the EAVS asks for five types of data:

1. How many individuals were registered and eligible to vote in 2022 as a UOCAVA voter?

2. How many Federal Post Card Applications (FPCA) were received by the election office, how 

many were accepted, and how many were rejected?

3. How many ballots were transmitted to and returned by UOCAVA voters? 

4. How many ballots returned by UOCAVA voters were counted and how many were rejected?

5. How many Federal Write-In Absentee Ballots (FWAB) were received and how many were 

rejected or accepted?

Types of UOCAVA Voters 

UOCAVA serves several populations of U.S. citizens. Below are the UOCAVA voter categories that are 

listed on the FPCA and how they correspond to the voter-type categories that are in this section of 

the survey:

Uniformed Services voters—domestic or 

foreign 

I am a member of the Uniformed Services or 

Merchant Marine on active duty. 

OR

I am an eligible spouse or dependent of a 

member of the Uniformed Services. 

Non-military/civilian overseas voter I am a U.S. citizen residing outside of the United 

States, and I intend to return. 

I am a U.S. citizen residing outside of the United 

States, and my return is not certain. 

I am a U.S. citizen and have never resided in 

the United States. 

It is very important to remember that the spouse or dependents of a Uniformed Services member or 

member of the Merchant Marine is also considered a Uniformed Services voter under UOCAVA. 

Military spouses and dependents should be categorized as Uniformed Services voters, not as civilian 

overseas voters or “Other.” 

There is a federal definition of UOCAVA, and an individual who registers and requests an absentee 

ballot using an FPCA is covered by UOCAVA. However, your state may cover additional individuals 

under UOCAVA; for example, a National Guard member activated on state orders is often considered 

a UOCAVA voter under state law. Your state may also allow people to request UOCAVA status using a 

state form or another mechanism. For most of Section B, use your state’s definition of UOCAVA to 
OMB Control No. 3265-0006 Expiration Date 04/30/2025 12

answer the questions. For the questions that specifically ask about FPCAs, only report data on those 

voters covered by UOCAVA who submitted an FPCA.

Types of UOCAVA Absentee Ballots 

Section B asks about two types of absentee ballots:

Transmitted ballots: These are ballots that your office sent to voters, including ballots sent via postal 

mail, email, fax, or other modes.

Federal Write-In Absentee Ballots (FWAB): These are ballots that originated from UOCAVA voters who 

did not receive their requested or transmitted absentee ballots in time. On the FWAB, the voter lists 

each office and the name or the candidate or party for whom the voter is casting a vote. FWABs 

should not be reported with transmitted UOCAVA absentee ballots; they are instead reported in 

questions B23–B27. If your state or jurisdiction cannot separate FWABs from regular UOCAVA 

ballots, this should be noted in the comment boxes for questions B5–B22. 

For 2022, Section B includes the Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP) Post-Election Voting 

Survey of Local Election Officials. In 2014, the EAC incorporated these questions for states that 

report UOCAVA voting information as required by 42 U.S.C. §1973ff-1. States that complete and 

timely submit this section to the EAC will fulfill their UOCAVA reporting requirement under 42 

U.S.C §1973ff-1(c).

Pursuant to UOCAVA, this section collects various data elements needed to determine (1) the 

combined number of absentee ballots transmitted to UOCAVA voters; (2) the combined number of 

ballots returned by UOCAVA voters; and (3) the combined number of returned ballots cast by 

UOCAVA voters (the number of cast ballots is practically determined by collecting data concerning 

the total votes counted and rejected).

Answer All Questions

Please provide an answer to all of the items in Section B. 

• If the question is not applicable to your state or jurisdiction, use the code -88 (negative 

88, or “Does not apply”) as your response. 

o Example: If your state does not transmit UOCAVA absentee ballots by email, then 

enter -88 as the response to questions B7a–B7c.

• If the question is applicable to your state but your jurisdiction does not have the data 

necessary to answer the question, use the code -99 (negative 99, or “Data not available”) 

as your response.

o Example: If your state rejects UOCAVA ballots that do not have a postmark but 

does not track data on the number of ballots that were rejected for that reason, 

then enter -99 as the response to questions B21a–B21c. 
OMB Control No. 3265-0006 Expiration Date 04/30/2025 13

Registered and Eligible UOCAVA Voters: Question B1 

This question asks about the number of registered voters covered under UOCAVA for the 2022

general election.

States may differ in how they grant UOCAVA status to voters, so please apply the guidelines your 

state follows. 

• For some states, this may be the total number of voters who registered and requested a 

ballot using an FPCA for the November 2022 general election.

• For other states, this number might also include voters who did not register using an FPCA 

but identified themselves as a UOCAVA voter at some point during the voting process, such 

as on a state voter registration form or by having a non-U.S. mailing address. 

In states where a person’s FPCA remains valid across elections without requiring a new FPCA or 

other notification to be provided, include all UOCAVA voters who returned an FPCA in 2022 or who 

continued to have UOCAVA status from a previous request.

B1. Total Registered and Eligible UOCAVA Voters 

For question B1a, report the total number of registered and eligible voters in your jurisdiction who 

were covered by UOCAVA in the November 2022 general election. 

For questions B1b and B1c, separate the number of registered and eligible voters reported in B1a 

into the categories of Uniformed Services voters and non-military/civilian overseas voters. These

amounts should sum to the total provided in B1a. If you are unable to distinguish between different 

UOCAVA voter types, complete B1a and enter -99 (negative 99, or “Data not available”) for B1b–B1c.

Provide any comments about the nuances of how your jurisdiction categorizes registered UOCAVA 

voters in the B1 Comments box. 

Category of UOCAVA Voters Total 

B1a. TOTAL registered and eligible UOCAVA voters:

Report the total number of registered and eligible voters covered under 

UOCAVA for the November 2022 general election. Include active and 

inactive voters and any persons who might have registered as UOCAVA 

before or on Election Day.

If the total number of registered and eligible voters who were covered by 

UOCAVA in the November 2022 general election in your jurisdiction is 

zero, report “0” for B1a.

B1b. Total registered and eligible Uniformed Services voters (members of 

the Uniformed Services and their eligible dependents)—domestic or

FPCAs Received, Accepted, and Rejected: Questions B2–B4 

These questions ask about Federal Post Card Applications (FPCA), which are federal forms that 

states are required to process for voters covered by UOCAVA. For this question, focus on the total 

number of UOCAVA-registered voters provided in B1a and identify how many voters used an FPCA to 

register and request an absentee ballot.

B2. Federal Post Card Applications Received

For B2a, report the total number of FPCAs received from UOCAVA voters for the November 2022

general election. 

Next, for questions B2a–B2c, separate the total number of FPCAs received from UOCAVA voters into 

the categories of Uniformed Services voters and non-military/civilian voters. These amounts should 

sum to the total provided in B2a.

FPCAs Received From UOCAVA Voters Total

B2a. TOTAL Federal Post Card Applications (FPCA) from UOCAVA voters:

Include any ballot request for the November 2022 general election that 

originated from an FPCA, regardless of the year of submission. Only 

include FPCA requests; do not include absentee ballot requests that 

originated from a state absentee voter registration form or other source. 

B2b. TOTAL FPCA from Uniformed Services voters (members of the 

Uniformed Services and their eligible dependents)—domestic or foreign

B2c. TOTAL FPCA from non-military/civilian overseas voters

B3. Federal Post Card Applications Rejected

For question B3a, report the total number of FPCAs rejected from UOCAVA voters. Rejected FPCAs 

should include any forms that did not meet full eligibility requirements for triggering the transmission 

of a blank UOCAVA ballot. Reasons for rejection might include missing information, lack of a 

signature, a missed deadline, or overall ineligibility. 

For questions B3b–B3c, divide the total number of FPCAs rejected into the categories of Uniformed 

Services voters and non-military/civilian voters. These amounts should sum to the total provided in 

B3a.

FPCAs rejected Total 

B3a. TOTAL rejected Federal Post Card Applications (FPCA) from all UOCAVA 

voters: 

Include any rejected FPCA for the November 2022 general election, regardless 

of the year of submission. Only include FPCA requests; do not include absentee 

ballot requests that originated from a state absentee voter registration form or 

other source. 

B3b. Rejected FPCAs received from Uniformed Services voters (members of the 

Uniformed Services and their eligible dependents)—domestic or foreign

B3c. Rejected FPCAs received from non-military/civilian overseas voters

B3 Comments:

B4. Federal Post Card Applications Rejected Because They Were Received Late 

For question B4, report how many of the FPCAs rejected for the 2022 general election (as reported 

in B3a) were rejected because they were received late. FPCAs might be considered late if they were 

received back after the deadline or if they failed to meet the deadline for receiving any ballot for the 

2022 general election. Here, “deadline” refers to the last day a UOCAVA voter could request to 

receive an absentee ballot using an FPCA.

Reason for FPCA Rejection Total 

B4a. TOTAL FPCAs rejected because they were received late:

Of the total number of FPCAs that were rejected (as reported in B3a), how many 

were rejected because the election office received them after the absentee ballot 

request deadline?”

UOCAVA Ballots Transmitted: Questions B5–B8 

A transmitted ballot is any blank ballot that your office sent to a UOCAVA voter, including ballots sent 

to voters via postal mail, email, fax, or other modes. Do not include FWABs or other ballots not 

transmitted from the election office to the voter.

B5–B8. UOCAVA Ballots Transmitted to Voters: Postal Mail, Email, Other 

For B5a, report the total number of blank absentee ballots transmitted (sent by your office) to 

UOCAVA voters for the November 2022 general election, and then divide the total number of 

transmitted UOCAVA ballots that were reported in B5a into Uniformed Services (B5b) and nonmilitary/civilian overseas voters (B5c). All transmitted UOCAVA ballots, including duplicate 

transmissions, should be reported in these questions. If the total number of UOCAVA ballots 

transmitted is zero, report “0” for B5a and skip to question B23. FWABs should not be included in 

these questions; you will report data on FWABs starting with question B23.

For questions B6, B7, and B8, report how many blank UOCAVA absentee ballots your jurisdiction 

transmitted to UOCAVA voters via postal mail (B6), email (B7), and other modes, such as fax or 

online ballot delivery portals (B8). These questions refer to the way ballots were sent to voters, not 

the way ballots were requested or returned. The amounts reported in B6a, B7a, and B8a should sum 

to what was reported in B5a (this also applies to the b and c subitems in these questions). In 

addition, the amounts reported in B5b and B5c should sum to what was reported in B5a (this also 

applies to questions B6–B8).

Section C: Mail Voting 

Section C asks about mail voting, in which a ballot is mailed to a voter (or, in some cases, issued 

over the counter at an election office or made available to the voter via a web portal or by fax) and 

the voter marks the ballot and returns it by mail, in a drop box, or in person at a polling place or 

election office. For purposes of the EAVS, “mail voting” is synonymous with “absentee voting.” The 

EAVS no longer uses the term “absentee voting” in recognition of the fact that a majority of states no 

longer require a voter to be absent from their voting location in order to cast a ballot by mail.

This section of the EAVS asks for six types of data:

1. How many mail ballots were transmitted to voters in the 2022 general election?

2. How many mail ballots were transmitted to permanent mail voters in the 2022 general 

election?

3. How many mail-ballot drop boxes were used in the 2022 general election, and how many 

mail ballots were returned via these drop boxes?

4. How many mail ballots were successfully cured by voters for the 2022 general election?

5. How many mail ballots were accepted and how many mail ballots were rejected in the 2022

general election?

6. For what reasons were mail ballots rejected in the 2022 general election?

When reporting data on mail voting, include duplicate ballot transmissions (such as when a voter 

misplaces their mail ballot and requests a replacement) and duplicate ballot returns (such as when a 

voter submits multiple mail ballots, even though only one ballot is ultimately counted). If your state 

cannot track duplicate ballot transmissions or returns, note that information in the survey 

comments.

When responding to questions in Section C, do not include any individuals who voted using any 

form of in-person voting, including in-person absentee voting. For the purpose of the EAVS, inperson absentee voters are considered early voters. In addition, do not include any individuals 

who voted using a UOCAVA absentee ballot or FWAB. Information on these voters is reported in 

Section B.

Answer All Questions

Please provide an answer to all of the items in Section C. 

• If the question is not applicable to your state or jurisdiction, use the code -88 (negative 

88, or “Does not apply”) as your response. 

o Example: If your state does not have permanent mail voters, then enter -88 as the 

response to question C2a.

• If the question is applicable to your state but your jurisdiction does not have the data 

necessary to answer the question, use the code -99 (negative 99, or “Data not available”) 

as your response.

o Example: If your state rejects mail ballots for not having a witness signature but 

does not track data on the number of mail ballots that were rejected for that 

reason, then enter -99 as the response to question C9d.

Transmitted Mail Ballots: Questions C1–C2 

Transmitted mail ballots are mail ballots that your office sent to voters, including ballots sent to 

voters via postal mail, email, fax, or other modes. Do not include ballots mailed to UOCAVA voters. 

C1. Total Mail Ballots Transmitted 

For question C1, report the total number of mail ballots transmitted to voters for the November 2022

general election. Include all mail ballots transmitted for this election, including duplicate 

transmissions. Next, divide the total number of mail ballots transmitted to voters (as reported in C1a) 

into the categories listed in C1b through C1f. Use C1g–C1i for any mail ballots that do not fit into the 

categories listed. The numbers entered in C1b through C1i should sum to the total provided in C1a.

Category of Mail Ballots Total 

C1a. TOTAL mail ballots transmitted:

This number should include all mail ballots transmitted for the 2022 

general election, including spoiled or replaced ballots or duplicate 

transmissions. Do not include individuals who cast UOCAVA absentee 

ballots or individuals who used any form of in-person voting.

C1b. Returned by voters:

Include ballots both counted and rejected and mail ballots that went 

through the curing process (if applicable in your state). 

C1c. Returned as undeliverable:

Report the total number of transmitted ballots returned to your office as 

undeliverable.

C1d. Surrendered, spoiled, or replaced ballots (also referred to as 

“voided” ballots): 

Include mail ballots that voters surrendered at a polling place in order to 

vote in person, mail ballots that were incorrectly marked or impaired in 

some way, and mail ballots that were replaced with another ballot. 

C1e. Mail voters who voted in person with a provisional ballot:

Include mail ballots from voters who attempted to vote in person but did 

not have their mail ballot to surrender at the polls and who were given a 

provisional ballot.

If your state cannot distinguish these ballots from spoiled mail ballots in 

C1d, please note this in the C1 Comments box.

C1f. Unreturned mail ballots (neither returned undeliverable, nor returned 

from the voter, nor replaced by another ballot):

Report the number of transmitted mail ballots that were not returned by 

voters or were not spoiled, returned undeliverable, or surrendered so the 

voter could vote in person.

C2. Ballots Sent to Permanent Mail Voters

For question C2a, report the total number of ballots that were transmitted to permanent mail voters 

in your jurisdiction. 

For purposes of this question, permanent mail voters are defined as voters who have applied to be 

automatically sent a mail ballot for all elections. This should not include ballots transmitted by 

jurisdictions that conduct elections entirely by mail. 

If your state does not allow any voters to have permanent mail voting status, answer -88 (“Does not 

apply”) to question C2a and move to question C3.

C2a. TOTAL number of mail ballots transmitted to voters on a permanent 

mail ballot voter registration list

C2 Comments: 

[Survey continues on next page]

This question applies if any voters in your jurisdiction can request to be a permanent mail voter. 

For example, in some states, if a voter is permanently ill or disabled, they can file an application 

indicating permanent illness or physical disability and receive a mail ballot for all subsequent 

elections without filing any additional mail ballot applications. In other states, any voter can apply 

for permanent mail voter status.

Mail Ballots Returned by Voters: Questions C3–C9 

C3–C5. Mail Ballot Drop Boxes 

For question C3a, report the total number of drop boxes your jurisdiction used for the 2022 general 

election. In this question, each drop box should only be counted once. 

In questions C4 and C5, report the number of drop boxes used during Election Day (C4) and during 

early voting (C5). If a drop box was used for both early voting and Election Day, it should be reported 

in both C4 and C5. Because of this, the sum of C4a and C5a may not equal what you reported in 

C3a. 

The total number of drop boxes used for each voting period should be reported in C4a and C5a, and 

in questions C4b–C4c and C5b–C5c, separate the totals reported in C4a and C5a into two 

categories:

• Drop boxes located at election offices

• Drop boxes located at non-election office sites

The total of C4b and C4c should sum to the number reported in C4a, and the total of C5b and C5c 

should sum to the number reported in C5a.

Mail Ballot Drop Boxes Total 

C3a. TOTAL number of drop boxes used for the 2022 general election:

Each drop box should be counted only once in this question, regardless of 

the number of voting days it was used for.

a. TOTAL drop boxes used during the specified

voting period

b. Drop boxes located at election offices

c. Drop boxes located at non-election office sites

C4–C5 Comments: 

For purposes of the EAVS, a drop box is a locked container (located either indoors or outdoors) 

where voters (or voters’ authorized representatives, if allowed by your state’s law) may deliver 

their voted mail ballots for collection. Drop boxes are operated or controlled by election officials. 

Drop boxes are separate from ballot boxes that are located at in-person polling places for voters 

to place their ballots immediately after voting in person.

C7. Mail Ballot Curing 

For question C7a, report the total number of successfully cured mail ballots in your jurisdiction for 

the 2022 general election. A cured ballot is defined as a returned mail ballot that was originally 

rejected for an error or because it was missing required information but was ultimately counted 

because the voter corrected the error or supplied the required information.

If your state does not allow voters to cure errors or missing information on their mail ballots, report 

-88 (“Does not apply”) in C7a. If your state allows for mail ballot curing but does not track data on

the number of mail ballots that were successfully cured, report -99 (“Data not available”) in C7a.

Section D: In-Person Polling Operations 

The goal of Section D is to understand in-person polling operations in your jurisdiction.

This section of the EAVS asks for three types of data:

1. How many precincts did you have in your jurisdiction for the 2022 general election?

2. How many polling places—in total and for Election Day voting and in-person early voting—did

your jurisdiction have for the 2022 general election?

3. How many poll workers—for Election Day voting and in-person early voting—did your

jurisdiction have for the 2022 general election? What were the ages of those poll workers

and how easy or difficult was it to recruit poll workers?

Precincts and Polling Places: Questions D1–D4 

This section asks about polling places and precincts. First, report the number of precincts, and 

second, report the number of physical polling places.

D1. Total Number of Precincts 

For question D1a, report the total number of precincts in your jurisdiction for the November 2022

general election. For this question, a precinct is defined as the geographic area to which voters are 

assigned. It is an administrative division of a county or municipality to which voters have been 

assigned according to their residence address for voting in an election. Your jurisdiction might use 

the terms “ward” or “voting district” to describe a voting precinct.

Type of Registration Total 

D1a. TOTAL number of precincts in your jurisdiction for the November 

2022 general election 

D1 Comments: 

Answer All Questions

Please provide an answer to all of the items in Section D. 

• If the question is not applicable to your state or jurisdiction, use the code -88 (negative

88, or “Does not apply”) as your response.

o Example: If all early voting sites in your state must be located at an election office,

then enter -88 as the response to D4b.

• If the question is applicable to your state but your jurisdiction does not have the data

necessary to answer the question, use the code -99 (negative 99, or “Data not available”)

as your response. 

o Example: If your state or jurisdiction does not track data on the ages of poll

workers, then enter -99 as the response to D7b–D7g.
OMB Control No. 3265-0006 Expiration Date 04/30/2025 30

D2–D4. Number of Physical Polling Places (Election Day and Early Voting) 

For question D2a, report the total number of physical polling places your jurisdiction used for the 

2022 general election. In this question, each polling place should only be counted once.

Next, in questions D3 and D4, report the total number of physical polling places in your jurisdiction 

for Election Day voting (D3) and for early voting (D4) for the November 2022 general election. If a 

polling place was used during both early voting and Election Day voting, it should be reported in both 

D3 and D4. Because of this, the sum of D3a and D4a may not equal what you reported in D2a. 

For questions D3b–D3c and D4b–D4c, separate the number of Election Day polling locations and 

early voting polling places, respectively, into two categories: 

• Physical polling places that are not a part of the election office (D3b and D4b); and

• Polling places that are a part of the election office (D3c and D4c).

If your jurisdiction has two precincts in one location, such as a school gym, this is only one polling 

place (even if they are far apart in the gym). However, if your jurisdiction has a polling place at a 

school in the library and then has another polling place at the same school but in the gym, they

should be considered two polling places. If your jurisdiction allows any individuals to cast a ballot in 

person at the local election office (such as through in-person absentee voting), please include these

election offices in D3c and D4c.

Total Polling Places Total 

D2a. TOTAL number of physical polling places used for the 2022 general 

election: 

Each polling place should be counted only once in this question, 

regardless of the number of voting days it was used for.

Poll Workers: Questions D5–D9 

The EAVS asks about the poll workers who served in the 2022 general election. Your jurisdiction may 

use a different term for poll workers, such as election judges, booth workers, wardens, 

commissioners, or other similar terms.

D5–D6. Election Day and Early Voting Poll Workers 

For questions D5 and D6, report the total number of poll workers who served in your jurisdiction for

Election Day voting and early voting for the November 2022 general election. For question D5, report 

the total number of poll workers who worked Election Day voting. For question D6, report the total 

number of poll workers who worked in-person early voting (counting each poll worker only once, 

regardless of the number of shifts they worked). If a poll worker worked as a poll worker for Election 

Day voting and as a poll worker during early voting, the poll worker should be counted both under the 

category of Election Day poll worker and the category of early voting poll worker.

D5. Election Day 

voting

D6. Early voting

a. TOTAL number of poll workers

D5–D6 Comments: 

[Survey continues on next page]

 

For the EAVS, “poll worker” refers to a person who verifies the identity of voters; assists voters

with signing the register, affidavits, or other documents required to cast a ballot; assists voters by 

providing them with a ballot or setting up the voting machine for the voters; and serves other 

functions as dictated by state law.

The count of poll workers should not include observers stationed at the polling places, regular 

office staff who did not serve poll worker functions during the election, or temporary election staff 

not hired specifically to serve voters in either early or Election Day voting. If regular election office 

staff served as poll workers, they should be counted in these questions.
OMB Control No. 3265-0006 Expiration Date 04/30/2025 32

D7. Total Number of Poll Workers and Ages of the Poll Workers 

In question D7a, report the total number of poll workers who assisted your jurisdiction with voting for 

the November 2022 general election. Each poll worker should be counted only once, regardless of 

the number of shifts they worked. If a poll worker assisted with both early voting and Election Day 

voting, they should be counted only once. Because of this, the sum of D5a and D6a may not equal 

what you report in D7a 

If your jurisdiction has data on the ages of its poll workers (for example, from voter registration 

records, payroll records, or poll worker applications), report the total number of poll workers in each 

age category in questions D7b–D7g. If your jurisdiction does not track data on any or all age 

categories, enter -99 (negative 99, or “Data not available”) as your response to those questions. 

However, please still provide a response in D7a for the total number of poll workers.

Section E: Provisional Voting 

The goal of Section E is to understand provisional voting in your jurisdiction. This section of the EAVS 

asks for three types of data:

1. How many individuals cast a provisional ballot in the 2022 general election, and how many 

of those ballots were counted and rejected? 

2. What were the reasons the provisional ballots were cast? 

3. What were the reasons the provisional ballots were rejected?

Two definitions will be helpful as you answer the questions in Section E:

Provisional voter: An individual who declares they are a registered voter in the jurisdiction where they 

desire to vote and is eligible to vote in an election for federal office, but (1) the voter’s name does 

not appear on the official list of eligible voters for the polling place, or (2) an election official asserts 

that the individual is not eligible to vote.

Provisional ballot: A ballot used to record a vote when there is some question regarding the eligibility 

of the voter. Once voted, provisional ballots are kept separate from other ballots and are not 

tabulated until the eligibility of the voter is confirmed.

Poll Books: Questions F3–F4 

The EAVS asks about two key election technologies. The first set of questions collects data on the 

type of poll books used in your jurisdiction’s polling places and how those poll books were used.

F3–F4. Use of Electronic and Paper Poll Books 

For questions F3 and F4, indicate whether your jurisdiction used electronic poll books or printed, 

paper poll books in polling places in the November 2022 general election for the listed activities. 

Completely vote-by-mail jurisdictions that have no in-person voting options should answer “No” to all 

items. 

For the purposes of these questions, an electronic poll book (e-poll book) is as a type of hardware, 

software, or a combination of both that is used in the place of a traditional paper poll book that lists 

all registered voters. These are not voting machines and are not used in the process of voting. 

For each item below (a, b, c, d, and e), indicate whether your jurisdiction used electronic poll 

books/electronic lists of voters or traditional paper poll books at polling places for the following 

functions in the November 2022 general election.

Voting Technologies: Questions F5–F9 

The second set of election technologies that the EAVS collects data on is the voting technology used 

to mark and tabulate ballots. Providing the best data will give the EAC the most complete picture 

possible of the voting technology your voters used to cast their ballots in the 2022 general election. 

F5–F9. Voting Equipment Used 

For questions F5–F9, report the number and type of voting equipment used for each aspect of the 

election process in the November 2022 general election. Report the following information:

• Equipment type—please note whether your jurisdiction uses:

o Direct-recording electronic (DRE) equipment, not equipped with a voter-verified paper 

audit trail (VVPAT)

o Direct-recording electronic (DRE) equipment, equipped with a voter-verified paper 

audit trail (VVPAT)

o Electronic system that produces a paper record but does not tabulate votes (often 

referred to as a “ballot marking device”)

o Scanner (optical or digital) that tabulates paper records that voters mark by hand or 

via a ballot marking device

o Hand-counted paper ballots (not an optical or digital scan system)

• Make and model of the voting equipment used (for example, the ES&S ExpressVote® or the 

Dominion ImageCast® Evolution/ICE). There is space provided to list up to three makes and 

models for each equipment type.

• The number of these machines that were deployed to assist with voting during the November 

2022 general election. Machines that were not deployed in a polling location or used to 

tabulate ballots should not be included in these questions.

• Equipment uses—indicate whether each type of equipment was used for:

o In-precinct Election Day regular balloting
