(FVAP), an agency of the Department of
Defense, to fulfill the mandate of the
Uniformed and Overseas Citizens
Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA of 1986
[42 U.S.C. 1973ff]). UOCAVA requires a
statistical analysis report to the
President and Congress on the
effectiveness of assistance under the
Act, a statistical analysis of voter
participation, and a description of State/
Federal cooperation. The data obtained
through this study will allow FVAP to
refine its methodology for estimating the
number of overseas U.S. civilians who
are eligible to vote and who have
registered and participated in the past,
and using these estimates to address the
question of whether the registration and
voting propensity of the overseas
civilian population differs from that of
a comparable domestic or military
populations. Conducting this research
will help FVAP meet its federal and
congressional mandates in terms of
reporting annually on its activities and
on overall voter registration and
participation rates after each
Presidential election. The data obtained
through this study is also intended to
provide insights into existing barriers to
UOCAVA voting and recommendations
for addressing these challenges.

The Uniformed and Overseas Citizens
Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA)
requires the States to allow Uniformed
Services personnel, their family
members, and overseas citizens to use
absentee registration procedures and to
vote by absentee ballot in general,
special, primary, and runoff elections
for Federal offices. The Act covers
members of the Uniformed Services and
the merchant marine to include the
commissioned corps of the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration and Public Health
Service and their eligible dependents,
Federal civilian employees overseas,
and overseas U.S. citizens not affiliated
with the Federal Government.
Subsequent to each Presidential election
year, FVAP must report voter
registration and participation rates for
uniformed service voters and overseas
citizens to Congress; while FVAP
collects data for this report through
regular surveys of uniformed service
voters and other relevant UOCAVA
populations, it does not currently
collect data from non-military, non-

government overseas civilians. Previous
attempts to collect information on the
overseas citizen’s population to identify
and measure its voter registration and
participation rates in Federal elections
suffered from significant bias; the
Overseas Citizens Population Survey is
focused on refining a prototype method
to report voter registration and
participation rates from a more welldefined subgroup of overseas civilians.
