SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Study of Voter Hotlines
Operated by Election Offices.
OMB Number: Pending.
Type of Review: Regular submission.
Needs and Uses: Section 241(b)(9) of
the Help America Vote Act (HAVA)
requires the U.S. Election Assistance
Commission (EAC) to periodically study
election administration issues,
including methods of educating voters
about the process of registering to vote
and voting, the operation of voting
mechanisms, the location of polling
places, and all other aspects of
participating in elections. Furthermore,
Section 245(a)(2)(C) of HAVA indicates
that the EAC may investigate the impact
new communications or Internet
technology systems used in the electoral
process could have on voter
participation rates, voter education, and
public accessibility. In 2005, the EAC
undertook a research study of voter
hotline data available online to
determine trends. A voter hotline was
defined as a toll-free line that connects
voters with elections offices, which then
disseminate information and educate
voters. The EAC found several hotlines
in operation during the 2004
Presidential election, and their
sponsorship and capabilities varied to a
great degree. To build on and augment
these research findings, the EAC wishes
to conduct a study to determine the
current state of voter information
hotlines that are operated by Federal,
State, and local election offices.
Affected Public: Federal, State, and
local election offices.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1937.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
VerDate Aug<31>2005
17:06 May 17, 2007
Jkt 211001
Estimated Burden per Response: .5
hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 968.5 hours.
Information will be collected through
a survey of existing hotline services
operated by Federal, State, and local
government agencies and election
offices during the 2006 primary and
general elections. The data collected
will include information on voter
hotlines operated by election offices and
their features, including, but not limited
to:
1. Basic Information. Hotline hours of
operation, type of information available
through the hotline, automated or nonautomated service, links to other
sources of voting information.
2. Costs. Breakdown of cost based on
volume, cost of database maintenance
per record, and all personnel and
administrative costs of the service.
3. Features. Important factors include,
but are not limited to: (1) Languages
used, (2) disability-compliant features,
(3) touch tone and voice services, (4)
voice response options, and (5) ability
for interactivity with additional
databases (for example interactivity
with a voter registration database).
4. Network Capacity. Number of calls
capable of being routed per hour and the
number of incoming calls that can be
received.
5. Call Tracking. How calls are logged
or tracked, how they are routed, and the
types or categories of calls received.
6. Hotline personnel. Number of
hotline operators and methods by which
hotline operators are trained, the
frequency of their training and how they
are monitored for accuracy, currency,
security, and other critical performance
variables.
7. Methods by which the network
operator maintains the accuracy and
currency of the data. Important factors
include, but are not limited to how
regularly updates are made and qualitycontrol procedures.
8. Maintenance agreements with
service providers. Percentage of hotlines
that outsource all or part of the Hotline,
and experiences working with
contractors?
9. Timelines for database creation,
contractor integration, and final testing
before launch.
10. Security measures to ensure that
data in the call-routing network is
confidential.
11. Other information such as: Who
the intended audience is; demographic,
political and socioeconomic information
of the community served; cost of
publicizing the service and effectiveness
of various publicity methods; and
lessons learned.

A report on the key findings of the
study, along with recommendations for
the development and implementation of
voter hotlines, will be made available to
election officials and the public at the
conclusion of this effort.The report will
include a state-by-state compendium of
the existing voter hotlines and their
features. The report will be made
available on the EAC Web site at
