    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is necessary 
to fulfil the obligations of the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens 
Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA), 52 U.S.C. 203, which requires the 
Secretary of Defense to prescribe official forms containing an absentee 
voter registration application, an absentee ballot request application, 
and a backup ballot. The forms are for use by the States to permit 
absent uniformed services voters and overseas voters to participate in 
general, special, primary and runoff elections for Federal office. The 
collected information will be retained by election officials to provide 
election materials, including absentee ballots, to the uniformed 
services, their eligible family members and overseas voters during the 
form's eligibility period provided by State law. No information from 
the Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot (FWAB) is collected or retained by 
the Federal government. The applicant is required to update and 
resubmit the information annually, whenever they change their mailing 
address or as otherwise required by State law. If the information is 
not submitted annually or whenever they change their mailing address, 
the applicant may not receive ballots for elections for Federal office 
in that calendar year.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
