# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## I. National Mail Voter Registration Form

                    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.                           ( print page 46233)                        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 14 additional translated languages is available on EAC's website, at                     *https://www.eac.gov/​voters/​national-mail-voter-registration-form.*
