SECTION TWO: NOVEMBER 7, 2006, ELECTION RESULTS

DEFINITIONS for Questions 32-42:

• "At the pol1s:" refers to ballots issued, cast, or counted on a jurisdiction's voting system on Election Day at a polling place (separate from early and in-person absentee voting at the polls prior to Election Day).

• Ballots cast: refers to ballots that have been submitted manually or electronically by a voter regardless of whether they are ultimately counted. Note: For jurisdictions that provide voters with more than one ballot card to vote for different contests or measures should only report one ballot cast per voter.

• Ballots counted: refers to all ballots that have been cast, processed, and counted.

• Domestic civilian absentee ballot: refers to a ballot available to a non-military citizen living in the United States who is registered to vote and meets the State's requirement for voting absentee, and is not considered early voting by state definitions. Generally, a voter must request an absentee ballot from their local election office, and the completed ballot may be sent back by mail or dropped off in person (in-person absentee) depending on the laws and regulations of the voter’s State of residence.

• Domestic military citizen is statutorily defined as:

1. A member of a uniformed service on active duty who, by reason of such active duty, is stationed or positioned within the United States or its territories, and who is absent from the place of residence where the member is otherwise qualified to vote;

2. A member of the merchant marine who, by reason of service in the merchant marine, is serving within the United States and its territories, and who is absent from the place of residence where the member is otherwise qualified to vote; and

3. A spouse or dependent of a member referred to in subparagraph (A) or (6) who, by reason of the active duty or service of the member, is absent from the place of residence where the spouse or dependent is otherwise qualified to vote.

   • Early voting refers generally to any in-person voting that occurred prior to November 7, 2006, at specific polling locations for which there were no special eligibility requirements, and is not considered absentee voting under the State’s definitions/requirements for absentee voting.

   • Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot (FWAB) is an emergency ballot available to military and overseas citizens (including APO and FPO addresses) when they have properly requested but have not received a regular absentee ballot from their local jurisdiction in time to return it before the deadline.

   • Overseas military citizen is statutorily defined as:

1. A member of a uniformed service on active duty who, by reason of such active duty, is stationed or positioned outside of the United States and its territories, and who is thus absent from the place of residence where the member is otherwise qualified to vote;

2. A member of the merchant marine who, by reason of service in the merchant marine, is serving outside of the United States and its territories, and who is thus absent from the place of residence where the member is otherwise qualified to vote; and

3. A spouse or dependent of a member referred to in subparagraph (A) or (B) who, by reason of the active duty or service of the member, is absent from the place of residence where the spouse or dependent is otherwise qualified to vote.

• Overseas citizens refers to persons who are citizens of the United States who are living, working or stationed outside of the United States and its territories and who are not members of a uniformed service.

• Provisional ballot refers to a ballot issued to a voter at the polling place when their eligibility to vote has not been determined.
