Summary of Revisions to Survey of UOCAVA Voters

Revisions to UOCAVA Survey (OMB Control No. 3265-0005, Exp. 5/31/2007)

Notes to survey reviewers:

1. Page headers in the review version of the survey will be removed prior to survey launch.

2. Please note that depending on answers some questions will be skipped; and these skips are noted in the new version (in yellow boxes) for the reviewers benefit.

3. Question numbers have necessarily changed, as the order of questions has been improved and a few deletions/additions made, however – the basic questions, the meaning and purpose of the survey remain consistent with the earlier version.

The three main, inter-related issues that drove revisions:

1. Time needed to take the survey

2. Number of questions

3. Redundancy of questions

In other words, this is a shorter survey with less redundancy and takes less time to complete.

Summary of Changes:

• Questions Moved (from ‘Nov6_06’ version) : Q14, Q15-Q18, Q53

• Questions Deleted (from ‘Nov6_06’ version) : Q15, Q16, Q17, Q19, Q26, Q40, Q59, Q61

• Reorganized the early flow of voter profile questions to eliminate redundancy (from ‘Nov6_06’ version) : Q 5-8, Q15-18

• Revised wording to eliminate technical term, “FPCA,” and its associated definition statement; this makes the survey easier to understand and complete.

• Other minor modifications included: spelling; general clean-up; making answers and questions more concise and more personal; adding answer options to be more complete; and improving general readability.
