Post-Election Survey
The Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act requires the Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP) to submit a report to Congress following each Presidential election on the effectiveness of our efforts. The report utilizes data collected in the Post-Election Surveys, which gauges the absentee voting experience for local election officials, military and overseas citizens, their spouses and voting assistance officers. These results assist FVAP in improving the voter experience and better focus our programs and initiatives.
FVAP conducts the Post-Election Surveys: (1) to determine participation in the electoral process by UOCAVA citizens; (2) to assess the impact of FVAP's efforts to simplify and ease the process of voting absentee; (3) to evaluate other progress made to facilitate absentee voting participation; and (4) to identify any remaining obstacles to voting by these citizens.
If you are chosen to participate and complete the survey, FVAP appreciates your effort and assistance with this effort. These surveys are not the same as the Election Day survey conducted by the Election Assistance Commission.
Post-Election Voting Surveys have been conducted in the past. For some of the populations, concerns regarding sampling methodology and low survey response rates have limited FVAP's ability to generalize the experiences of survey respondents to assess the views and voting experiences among the general population. The reports, along with methodological statements, can be accessed by clicking the link below.
