2022 EAVS Instrument

U.S. ELECTION ASSISTANCE COMMISSION (EAC)
2022 Election Administration and Voting Survey (EAVS)
The ongoing process of improving America’s election systems relies in part on having accurate data
about the way Americans cast their ballots. In 2002, Congress chartered the U.S. Election Assistance
Commission (EAC) to collect information on the state of American elections and make it widely
available to policymakers, advocates, scholars, journalists, and the general public. Since 2004, the
EAC has sponsored a biennial survey as its primary tool for fulfilling that mission. We are pleased to
present the 2022 Election Administration and Voting Survey (EAVS), and we ask for your help in
making it the most complete and accurate survey in its history.
The questions in this survey ask for information about ballots cast, voter registration, overseas and
military voting, mail voting, Election Day activities, voting technology, and other important issues.
The section concerning the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Voting Act (UOCAVA) serves as the
EAC’s standardized format for state reporting of UOCAVA voting information as required by 52
U.S.C. §20302. States that complete and timely submit this section to the EAC will fulfill their
UOCAVA reporting requirement under 52 U.S.C. §20302(c).
Additionally, the EAC is mandated by the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) to collect
information from states concerning the impact of that statute on the administration of federal
elections. With this information, the EAC is required to make a report to Congress and provide
recommendations for the improvement of federal and state procedures, forms, and other NVRA
matters. States that respond in a timely manner to all questions in this survey concerning voter
registration-related matters will meet their NVRA reporting requirements under 52 U.S.C. §
20508 and EAC regulations.
The EAC recognizes the burden that asking for these data places on state and local election officials,
and we have worked to minimize that burden as much as possible. In advance, we thank you for your
cooperation and look forward to answering any questions you might have.

Instructions for Completing the 2022 Election Administration and Voting Survey
1. This survey collects information on election administration in local election offices that are
responsible for the administration of the November 2022 general election. All data should be
reported at the level of the local jurisdiction. However, the state- or territorial-level election office
may fill out any or all of the information on behalf of the local election offices under its
jurisdiction.
2. Read a section in its entirety before answering any of the questions in that section, paying close
attention to terminology definitions and instructions about what data should be included in each
question.
3. Do not leave items blank—always provide an answer to the question asked. If needed, use the
responses of “data not available” or “does not apply” (if you do not have the necessary data to
provide an answer to a question” or use the “Other” categories in a question (if you have
additional data to report that is not covered by one of the existing categories in a question).
4. Please attempt to record data according to the categories as they are defined in the question. If
your jurisdiction uses a different data classification scheme (for instance, your jurisdiction
collects data in such a way that combines two or more categories listed in a question), then you
can use the space provided for “Other” to provide numbers and details on these categories. If
you report information in the “Other” field, please use the comment boxes to provide an
explanation for the answer.
5. Use comments boxes as needed to provide additional context and nuance to the data you report.
This includes any explanations about the quality of the data you are providing. These comments
will assist the EAC in analyzing and presenting your data accurately. All comments you provide
will be made public when the survey data are released, and the information submitted in your
comments may be replicated in reports and other research products released by the EAC.
Because these comments will be public, they should be written so they are understandable to
readers who are not familiar with your state’s election policy and practices. Comments should
not include any sensitive or personally identifiable information (PII), and any acronyms in your
comments should be explained.

Section A: Voter Registration
The goal of Section A is to understand the ways in which individuals registered to vote in each
jurisdiction between 2020 and 2022, and the efforts made to remove individuals who should no
longer be registered.
This section of the EAVS asks for four types of data:
1. How many individuals were registered to vote for the 2022 general election?
2. How many voter registration forms were processed between the close of registration for the
2020 general election and the close of registration for the 2022 general election?
3. How many confirmations of registration notifications did your jurisdiction send to registered
voters between the close of registration for the 2020 general election and the close of
registration for the 2022 general election?
4. How many registered voters were removed from the voter registration rolls between the close
of registration for the 2020 general election and the close of registration for the 2022
general election?
The EAC is mandated by the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) to collect information from
states concerning the impact of that statute on the administration of federal elections. With this
information, the EAC is required to make a report to Congress and provide recommendations for
the improvement of federal and state procedures, forms, and other NVRA matters. States that
respond in a timely manner to all questions in this survey concerning voter registration-related
matters will meet their NVRA reporting requirements under 52 U.S.C. § 20508 and EAC
regulations.
Answering All Questions
Please provide an answer to all of the items in Section A.
•

If the question is not applicable to your state/jurisdiction: use the code -88 (negative 88,
or “does not apply”) as your response.
o

•

Example: if your state or jurisdiction does not categorize registered voters as
inactive, then enter -88 (negative 88) as the response to question A1c.

If the question is applicable to your state but your jurisdiction does not have the data
necessary to answer the question: use the code -99 (negative 99, or “data not available”)
as your response.
o

Example: if your state or jurisdiction has same-day registration but does not track
the number of same-day registrations received on Election Day separately from
those received prior to Election Day, then enter -99 (negative 99) as the response
to A2b and A2c.

Total Registrations: Questions A1 and A2
Questions A1 and A2 ask about individuals who were registered and eligible to vote in the 2022
general election. This includes all individuals who were registered to vote and included on the final
voter registration rolls for the election. For states with Election Day voter registration, include all
individuals who registered to vote through the close of the polls on Election Day.
Please DO NOT include:
•
•

Individuals who registered to vote after the close of registration for the 2022 general election
and were not eligible to vote in the election, or
Persons under the age of 18 registered under a pre-registration program.

If your jurisdiction’s number includes any special groups or situations that we should be aware of,
please use the A1 Comments box to explain.

A1. Total Number Registered and Eligible Persons, Active and Inactive
For question A1, report the total number of people (not votes or ballots) who were registered and
eligible to vote in the November 2022 general election. If your jurisdiction differentiates between
active and inactive voters, report the number of active voters in A1b and inactive voters in A1c. If
your state does not make this differentiation, report your total number of registered voters again in
A1b and enter -88 (negative 88) as the response to A1c. The sum of active voters in A1b and inactive
voters in A1c should equal the total number of registered voters reported in A1a.
Type of Registered Voter

Total

A1a. TOTAL number of registered and eligible voters:
Do not include any persons under the age of 18 who may be registered
under a pre-registration program or registered after the 2022 deadline for
registration.
A1b. TOTAL number of active voters:
Fully eligible voters who have no additional processing requirements to
fulfill before voting.
A1c. TOTAL number of inactive voters:
Voters who remain eligible to vote but require address verification under
the provisions of the National Voter Registration Act.

A2. Same Day Voter Registration
For question A2, report the number of registration forms received from individuals who registered to
vote on the same day that they cast a ballot in person, also known as same-day registration (SDR) or
Election Day registration, for the 2022 general election. This includes jurisdictions in states that have
a formal policy allowing for SDR or Election Day registration, those whose registration period overlaps
with early voting, and those that permit SDR or Election Day registration only in special
circumstances (e.g., for federal offices only, or for individuals who moved between states after a
registration deadline in a presidential election year). A period of overlap between the mail balloting
period and the close of voter registration should not be considered SDR for the purposes of this
question.
Note that this question is about registration forms, and not ballots cast or votes. Both new
registrations and registration updates that were collected through SDR should be reported in this
question.
If your state’s laws allowed any voters to register and then vote on the same day, report the total
number of registration forms received on those days in which it was possible to both register for and
vote in the November 2022 general election on the same day in A2a. For questions A2b and A2c,
separate the total number of same day registrations that was reported in A2a into those received on
Election Day and those received prior to Election Day. These amounts should sum to the total
provided in A2a. If you are unable to distinguish between these categories or are unable to provide
this breakdown, complete A2a and enter -99 (negative 99, or data not available) for A2b–A2c. If data
are reported in A2b and A2c, the sum of these two items should equal the total number of same day
registrations reported in A2a.
Type of Same Day Registration

Total

A2a. TOTAL same day registrations received
A2b. Same-day registrations received on Election Day
A2c. Same-day registrations received prior to Election Day (e.g., during
early voting)
A2 Comments:

Registration Forms Processed: Questions A3–A7
These questions ask about the number of registration forms processed in your jurisdiction from the
close of registration for the November 2020 general election through the close of registration for the
November 2022 general election. For example, a state with a voter registration deadline of 15 days
before Election Day should include all forms received 14 days before the 2020 Election Day through
15 days before the 2022 Election Day. In states with same day voter registration or Election Day
registration, all registrations received after the close of the polls on Election Day in 2020 until the
close of the polls on Election Day 2022 should be included in your answers.

A3. Total Registration Forms Processed: 2020 to 2022
For question A3a, report the total number of forms your jurisdiction received from all sources during
the period from the close of registration for the November 2020 general election until the close of
registration for the November 2022 general election. Include any forms that were processed, such
as changes to name, party or address, duplicates, or pre-registrations. If applicable, also include
here any Election Day or same day registrations and any registrations from special categories of
voters who may have extended voter registration deadlines, such as returning military personnel.
Then, divide the total number of forms received (A3a) into the categories listed in A3b through A3g.
Use items A3h–A3j for any registration forms that cannot be placed into any of the categories
specified in A3b through A3g.
Registrations from Election Day and special category voters should be included in the appropriate
category (e.g., new valid registration or change of name).
Type of Registration Form Received

Total

A3a. TOTAL registration forms received:
All registration forms received between the close of registration for the
November 2020 general election and the close of registration for the
November 2022 general election.
A3b. New valid registrations (excluding pre-registrations of persons under
18):
All successful registrations that were not invalidated or rejected and did
not duplicate or modify a previously existing registration in the jurisdiction.
A3c. New pre-registrations of persons under age 18:
All registrations submitted by persons under the age of 18 years so that
they will be registered when they become of voting age.
A3d. Duplicates of existing valid registrations:
Applications to register to vote submitted by persons already registered to
vote at the same address, under the same name and personal information
(e.g., date of birth, social security number, driver’s license), and the same
political party (where applicable).
A3e. Invalid or rejected (other than duplicates):
Registrations that did not meet the requirements of eligibility because they
were not completed properly, or the individual was excluded from being
able to register in a jurisdiction.
A3f. Changes to name, party, or within-jurisdiction address change:
Registrations that modified or edited voter information for individuals with
current valid registrations.
A3g. Address changes that cross jurisdiction borders:
Registrations that modified or edited the address of persons with current
valid registrations, where the address change places them in a different
jurisdiction (such as a different county) from their current registration.

A4–A7. Total Registration Forms Processed, by Source
For question A4, divide the total number of voter registration forms reported in question A3a into the
listed categories through which the form was received. Then, for each source, divide the forms into
the categories of new registrations (A5), duplicates of an existing registration (A6), and invalid or
rejected registrations (A7).
Questions A6 and A7 are mutually exclusive—duplicate registrations included in A6 should not be
included as invalid or rejected registrations in A7, and vice versa.
For items a–l, it is important to focus on the mode used to submit the registration application. These
modes are intended to be mutually exclusive. For example, if the voter submits a registration form
online using the state’s online voter registration portal, this is an online voter registration and the
total number received would be put in A4c. This would be considered an online voter registration
even if the voter accessed the online voter registration system at a state public assistance office or
at the office of an agency that primarily serves individuals with disabilities. In addition, it does not
matter which agency hosts the voter registration system. For example, if your state motor vehicle
office hosts the online voter registration system, then applications using the system are still online
voter registration applications, not an application from the motor vehicle office.
For A4c—A7c (registrations submitted via the internet), only include registration forms that were
completed and submitted through a web-based online voter registration system. A form that was
filled out online but submitted via email or printed and submitted via mail should be included under
A4a, A5a, A6a or A7a, “Individual voters submitting applications by mail, fax, or email.”
Same-day registrations should be categorized according to the mode used to submit the registration
application. For example, if a voter submits a same-day registration form at an election/registrar’s
office, this would be considered an individual voter registering in person at the election/registrar’s
office and would be put in A4b. If a voter submits a same-day registration form at a polling place, this
would be considered a separate category and should be entered under “Other” in either A4j, A4k, or
A4l.

Confirmation of Registration Notices and Removals: Questions A8 and A9
These questions ask about the total number of confirmation notices sent to voters. A confirmation
notice is defined as a notice mailed to a voter who may no longer be eligible to vote in the jurisdiction
in which they are currently registered. Many states send these notices under the National Voter
Registration Act (NVRA) Section 8 (d) (1) (B) and Section 8 (d) (2); other states may send these
notices for other reasons. Although NVRA distinguishes between “confirmation notices” and
“removal notices,” some jurisdictions refer to “confirmation notices” as “removal notices” or
something else. All confirmation notices sent to voters should be reported in this section, regardless
of whether they are sent specifically to comply with NVRA. If your state sends confirmation notices for
non-NVRA reasons, describe them in the A8 Comments box.
A8. Total Confirmation of Registration Notices Sent to Voters
For question A8a, report the total number of confirmation notices sent to voters in the period
between the close of registration for the November 2020 general election and the close of
registration for the November 2022 general election. Examples of situations where confirmation
notices may be sent include an indication that the registrant no longer resides in the registrar’s
jurisdiction, or the voter has not voted or appeared to vote in a federal election during the period.
Next, for questions A8b–A8e, divide the total number of confirmation notices mailed (as reported in
A8a) into the listed categories. Use items A8f–A8h for notices that cannot be placed into any of the
categories specified in A8b–A8e. The amounts in A8b–A8h should sum to the total provided in A8a.

and the close of registration for the November 2022 general election. Note that this question asks
for those removed from the list of registered voters, not those moved into an “inactive” registration
status.
Next, for questions A9b–A9g, divide the total number of voters removed (as reported in A9a) into the

Section B: Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA)
The goal of Section B is to understand the voters covered under the Uniformed and Overseas
Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA) in your jurisdiction. The questions in this section of the survey
reflect the need to fully understand the UOCAVA voting process, which serves an important
population segment of the American electorate. This section of the EAVS asks for five types of data:
1. How many individuals were registered and eligible to vote in 2022 as a UOCAVA voter?
2. How many Federal Post Card Applications (FPCA) were received by the election office, how
many were accepted, and how many were rejected?
3. How many ballots were transmitted to and returned by UOCAVA voters?
4. How many ballots returned by UOCAVA voters were counted and how many were rejected?
5. How many Federal Write-in Absentee Ballots (FWAB) were received and how many were
rejected or accepted?
Types of UOCAVA Voters
UOCAVA serves several populations of U.S. citizens. Below are the UOCAVA voter categories that are
listed on the FPCA and how they correspond to the voter-type categories that are in this section of
the survey:
Uniformed Services voters—domestic or
foreign

I am a member of the Uniformed Services or
Merchant Marine on active duty
OR
I am an eligible spouse or dependent

Non-military/civilian overseas voter

I am a U.S. citizen residing outside of the United
States, and I intend to return
I am a U.S. citizen residing outside of the United
States, and my return is not certain
I am a U.S. citizen and have never resided in
the United States

It is very important to remember that the spouse or dependent of a Uniformed Services member or
member of the Merchant Marine is also considered a Uniformed Services voter under UOCAVA.
Military spouses and dependents should be categorized as Uniformed Services voters, not as civilian
overseas voters or “Other."
There is a federal definition of UOCAVA and an individual who registers and requests an absentee
ballot using an FPCA is covered by UOCAVA. However, your state may cover additional individuals
under UOCAVA; for example, a National Guard member activated on state orders is often considered
a UOCAVA voter under state law. Your state may also allow people to request UOCAVA status using a
state form or another mechanism. For most of Section B, use your state’s definition of UOCAVA to
answer the question. For the questions that specifically ask about FPCAs, only report data on those
voters covered by UOCAVA who submitted an FPCA.

For 2022, Section B includes the Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP) Post-Election Voting
Survey of Local Election Officials. In 2014, the EAC incorporated these questions for those states
reporting UOCAVA voting information as required by 42 U.S.C. §1973ff-1. States that complete
and timely submit this section to the EAC will fulfill their UOCAVA reporting requirement under 42
U.S.C §1973ff-1(c).
Pursuant to UOCAVA, this section collects various data elements needed to determine: (1) the
combined number of absentee ballots transmitted to UOCAVA voters; (2) the combined number of
ballots returned by UOCAVA voters; and (3) the combined number of returned ballots cast by
UOCAVA voters (the number of cast ballots is practically determined by collecting data concerning
the total votes counted and rejected).
Types of UOCAVA Absentee Ballots
Section B asks about two types of absentee ballots:
Transmitted ballots: These are ballots your office sent to voters, including ballots sent via postal
mail, email, fax, or other modes.
Federal Write-in Absentee Ballots (FWAB): These are ballots that originated from UOCAVA voters who
did not receive their requested or transmitted absentee ballots in time. On the FWAB, the voter lists
each office and the name or the candidate or party for whom the voter is casting a vote. FWABs
should not be reported with transmitted UOCAVA absentee ballots; they are instead reported in
questions B23–B27. If your state or jurisdiction cannot separate FWABs from regular UOCAVA
ballots, this should be noted in the comments in questions B5–B22.
Answering All Questions
Please provide an answer to all of the items in Section B.
•

If the question is not applicable to your state/jurisdiction: use the code -88 (negative 88,
or “does not apply”) as your response.
o

•

Example: if your state does not transmit UOCAVA absentee ballots by email, then
enter -88 as the response to questions B7a–B7c.

If the question is applicable to your state but your jurisdiction does not have the data
necessary to answer the question: use the code -99 (negative 99, or “data not available”)
as your response.
o

Example: if your state rejects UOCAVA ballots that do not have a postmark but
does not track data on the number of ballots that were rejected for that reason,
then enter -99 as the response to questions B21a–B21c.

UOCAVA Voters Registered and Eligible: Question B1
This question asks about the number of registered voters covered under UOCAVA for the 2022
general election.

Expiration Date MMMM/DD/YYYY 12

States may differ in how they grant UOCAVA status to voters, so please apply the guidelines your
state follows.
•
•

For some states, this may be the total number of voters that registered and requested a
ballot using an FPCA for the November 2022 general election.
For other states, this number might also include voters who did not register using an FPCA
but identified themselves as a UOCAVA voter at some point during the voting process, such
as on a state voter registration form or by having a non-U.S. mailing address.

In states where a person’s FPCA remains valid across elections without requiring a new FPCA or
other notification to be provided, include all UOCAVA voters who returned an FPCA this year or who
continued to have UOCAVA status from a previous request.

B1. Total Registered and Eligible UOCAVA Voters
For question B1a, report the total number of registered and eligible voters in your jurisdiction who
were covered by UOCAVA in the November 2022 general election.
For questions B1b and B1c, separate the number of registered and eligible voters reported in B1a
into the categories of Uniformed Services voters and non-military/civilian overseas voters. These
amounts should sum to the total provided in B1a. If you are unable to distinguish between different
UOCAVA voter types, complete B1a and enter -99 (negative 99, or “data not available”) for B1b–B1c.
Provide any comments about the nuances of how your jurisdiction categorizes registered UOCAVA
voters in B1 Comments.

Section C: Mail Voting
Section C asks about mail voting, in which a ballot is mailed to a voter (or, in some cases, issued
over the counter at an election office or made available to the voter via a web portal or by fax) and
the voter marks the ballot and returns it by mail, in a drop box, or in person at a polling place or
election office. For purposes of EAVS, “mail voting” is synonymous with “absentee voting.” The EAVS
no longer uses the term “absentee voting” in recognition of the fact that a majority of states no
longer require a voter to be absent from their voting location in order to cast a ballot by mail.
This section of the EAVS asks for six types of data:
1. How many mail ballots were transmitted to voters in the 2022 general election?
2. How many mail ballots were transmitted to permanent mail voters in the 2022 general
election?
3. How many mail ballot drop boxes were used in the 2022 general election, and how many
mail ballots were returned via these drop boxes?
4. How many mail ballots were successfully cured by voters for the 2022 general election?
5. How many mail ballots were accepted and how many mail ballots were rejected in the 2022
general election?
6. For what reasons were mail ballots rejected in the 2022 general election?
In reporting data on mail voting, include duplicate ballot transmissions (such as when a voter
misplaces their mail ballot and requests a replacement) and duplicate ballot returns (such as when a
voter submits multiple mail ballots, even though only one ballot is ultimately counted). If your state
cannot track duplicate ballot transmissions or returns, note that information in the survey
comments.
When responding to questions in Section C, do not include any individuals who voted using any
form of in-person voting, including in-person absentee voting. For the purpose of the EAVS, inperson absentee voters are considered early voters. In addition, do not include any individuals
who voted using a UOCAVA absentee ballot or FWAB. Information on these voters is reported in
Section B.
Answering All Questions
Please provide an answer to all of the items in Section C.
•

If the question is not applicable to your state/jurisdiction: use the code -88 (negative 88,
or “does not apply”) as your response.
o

•

Example: if your state does not have permanent mail voters, then enter -88 as the
response to question C2a.

If the question is applicable to your state but your jurisdiction does not have the data
necessary to answer the question: use the code -99 (negative 99, or “data not available”)
as your response.
o

Example: if your state rejects mail ballots for not having a witness signature but
does not track data on the number of mail ballots that were rejected for that
reason, then enter -99 as the response to question C9d.

ballots or individuals who used any form of in-person voting.
C1b. Returned by voters:
Include ballots both counted and rejected and mail ballots that went
through the cure process.
C1c. Returned as undeliverable:
Report the total number of transmitted ballots returned to your office as
undeliverable.
C1d. Surrendered, spoiled, or replaced ballots (also referred to as
“voided” ballots):
Include mail ballots that voters surrendered at a polling place in order to
vote in person, mail ballots that were incorrectly marked or impaired in
some way, and mail ballots that were replaced with another ballot.
C1e. Mail voters who voted in person with a provisional ballot:
Include mail ballots from voters who attempted to vote in person but did
not have their mail ballot to surrender at the polls and were given a
provisional ballot should be reported here.
If your state cannot distinguish these ballots from spoiled mail ballots in
C1d, please note this in the C1 Comments box.
C1f. Unreturned mail ballots (neither returned undeliverable, nor returned
from voter, nor replaced by another ballot):
Report the number of transmitted mail ballots that were not returned by
voters or were not spoiled, returned undeliverable, or surrendered so the
voter could vote in person.

C2. Ballots Sent to Permanent Mail Voters
For question C2a, report the total number of ballots that were transmitted to permanent mail voters
in your jurisdiction.
For purposes of this question, permanent mail voters are defined as voters who have applied to be
automatically sent a mail ballot for all elections. This should not include ballots transmitted by
jurisdictions that conduct elections entirely by mail.
This question applies if ANY voters in your jurisdiction can request to be a permanent mail voter.
For example, in some states, if a voter is permanently ill or disabled, they can file an application
indicating permanent illness or physical disability and receive mail ballots for all subsequent
elections without filing any additional mail ballot applications. In other states, any voter can apply
for permanent mail voter status.
If your state does not allow any voters to have permanent mail voting status, answer -88 (does not
apply) to question C2a and move to question C3.

C3–C5. Mail Ballot Drop Boxes
For question C3a, report the total number of drop boxes your jurisdiction used for the 2022 general
election. In this question, each drop box should only be counted once.
For purposes of EAVS, a drop box is a locked container (located either indoors or outdoors) where
voters (or voters’ authorized representatives, if allowed by your state’s law) may deliver their
voted mail ballots for collection. Drop boxes are operated or controlled by election officials. Drop
boxes are separate from ballot boxes that are located in in-person polling places for voters to
place their ballots immediately after voting in person.
Then in questions C4 and C5, report the number of drop boxes used during Election Day (C4) and
during early voting (C5). If a drop box was used for both early voting and Election Day, it should be
reported in both C4 and C5. Because of this, the sum of C4a and C5a may not equal what you report
in C3a.
The total number of drop boxes used for each voting period will be reported in C4a and C5a, and in
questions C4b–C4c and C5b–C5c you will separate the totals reported in C4a and C5a into two
categories:
•
•

Drop boxes located at election offices
Drop boxes located at non-election office sites

The total of C4b and C4c should sum to the number reported in C4a, and the total of C5b and C5c
should sum to the number reported in C5a.

rejected for an error or because it was missing required information but was ultimately counted
because the voter corrected the error or supplied the required information.
If your state does not allow voters to cure errors or missing information on their mail ballots, report
-88 (does not apply) in C7a. If your state allows for mail ballot curing but you do not track data on the
number of mail ballots that were successfully cured, report -99 (data not available) in C7a.

This section of the EAVS asks for three types of data:
1. How many precincts did you have in your jurisdiction for the 2022 general election?
2. How many polling places—in total and for Election Day voting and in-person early voting—did
your jurisdiction have for the 2022 general election?
3. How many poll workers—for Election Day voting and in-person early voting—did your
jurisdiction have for the 2022 general election? What were the ages of those poll workers
and how easy or difficult was it to recruit poll workers?
Answering All Questions
Please provide an answer to all of the items in Section D.
•

If the question is not applicable to your state/jurisdiction: use the code -88 (negative 88,
or “does not apply”) as your response.
o

•

Example: if all early voting sites in your state must be located at election offices,
then enter -88 as the response to D4b.

If the question is applicable to your state but your jurisdiction does not have the data
necessary to answer the question: use the code -99 (negative 99, or “data not available”)
as your response.
o

Example: if your state or jurisdiction does not track data on the ages of poll
workers, then enter -99 as the response to D7b–D7g.

Precincts and Polling Places: Questions D1–D4
This section asks about polling places and precincts. First, you will report the number of precincts
and second, the number of physical polling places.
D1. Total Number of Precincts
For question D1a, report the total number of precincts in your jurisdiction for the November 2022
general election. For this question, a precinct is defined as the geographic area to which voters are
assigned. It is an administrative division of a county or municipality to which voters have been
assigned according to their residence address for voting in an election. Your jurisdiction may use the
terms “ward” or “voting district” to describe voting precincts.

Expiration Date MMMM/DD/YYYY 29

D2–D4. Number of Physical Polling Places (Election Day and Early Voting)
For question D2a, report the total number of physical polling places your jurisdiction used for the
2022 general election. In this question, each polling place should only be counted once.
Remember that in-person absentee voting is considered early voting for the purposes of the
EAVS.
Next, in questions D3 and D4, report the total number of physical polling places in your jurisdiction
for Election Day voting (D3) and for early voting (D4) for the November 2022 general election. If a
polling place was used during both early voting and Election Day voting, it should be reported in both
D3 and D4. Because of this, the sum of D3a and D4a may not equal what you report in D2a.
For questions D3b–D3c and D4b–D4c, separate Election Day polling locations and early voting
polling places, respectively, into two categories:
•
•

Physical polling places that are not a part of the election office (D3b and D4b), and
Polling places that are a part of the election office (D3c and D4c).

If your jurisdiction has two precincts in one location, such as a school gym, this is only one polling
place (even if they are far apart in the gym). However, if your jurisdiction has a polling place at a
school in the library and then has another polling place at the same school but in the gym, that
would constitute two polling places. If your jurisdiction allows any individuals to cast a ballot in
person at the local election office (such as through in-person absentee voting), please include these
election offices in D3c and D4c.

Poll Workers: Questions D5–D9
The EAVS asks about the poll workers who served in the 2022 general election. Your jurisdiction may
use a different term for poll workers, such as election judges, booth workers, wardens,
commissioners, or other similar terms.
Here, “poll worker” refers to a person who verifies the identity of a voter; assists the voter with
signing the register, affidavits, or other documents required to cast a ballot; assists the voter by
providing the voter with a ballot or setting up the voting machine for the voter; and serves other
functions as dictated by state law.
Your count of poll workers should not include observers stationed at the polling places, regular
office staff who did not serve poll worker functions during the election, or temporary election staff
not hired specifically to serve voters in either early or Election Day voting. If regular election office
staff served as poll workers, they should be counted in these questions.

D5–D6. Election Day and Early Voting Poll Workers
For questions D5 and D6, report the total number of poll workers used in your jurisdiction for
Election Day voting and early voting for the November 2022 general election. For question D5, report
the total number of poll workers who worked Election Day voting. For question D6, report the total
number of poll workers who worked in-person early voting (counting each poll worker only once,
regardless of the number of shifts they worked). If a poll worker worked as a poll worker for Election
Day voting and as a poll worker during early voting, the poll worker would be counted both under the
category of Election Day poll worker and the category of early voting poll worker.

D7. Total Number of Poll Workers and Ages of Poll Workers
In question D7a, report the total number of poll workers who assisted your jurisdiction with voting for
the November 2022 general election. Each poll worker should be counted only once, regardless of
the number of shifts they worked. If a poll worker assisted with both early voting and Election Day
voting, they should be counted only once.
If your jurisdiction has data on the ages of its poll workers (for example, from voter registration
records, payroll records, or poll worker applications), report the total number of poll workers in each
age category in questions D7b–D7g. If your jurisdiction does not track data on any or all age
categories, enter -99 (negative 99, or “data not available”) as your response to those questions.
However, please still provide a response in D7a on the total number of poll workers.

Section E: Provisional Voting
The goal of Section E is to understand provisional voting in your jurisdiction. This section of the EAVS
asks for three types of data:
1. How many individuals cast a provisional ballot in the 2022 general election, and how many
of those ballots were counted and rejected?
2. What were the reasons provisional ballots were cast?
3. What were the reasons provisional ballots were rejected?
Two definitions will be helpful as you answer the questions in Section E:
Provisional voter: An individual who declares they are a registered voter in the jurisdiction where they
desire to vote and is eligible to vote in an election for federal office, but (1) the voter’s name does
not appear on the official list of eligible voters for the polling place, or (2) an election official asserts
that the individual is not eligible to vote.
Provisional ballot: A ballot used to record a vote when there is some question regarding the eligibility
of the voter. Once voted, provisional ballots are kept separate from other ballots and are not
tabulated until the eligibility of the voter is confirmed.
Answering All Questions
Please provide an answer to all of the items in Section E.
•

If the question is not applicable to your state/jurisdiction: use the code -88 (negative 88,
or “does not apply”) as your response.
o

•

Example: if your state is NVRA-exempt and does not offer provisional ballots, then
enter -88 as the response to all questions in Section E.

If the question is applicable to your state but your jurisdiction does not have the data
necessary to answer the question: use the code -99 (negative 99, or “data not available”)
as your response.
o

Example: if your state or jurisdiction does not track data on the reasons why
provisional ballots were rejected, then enter -99 as the response to E3b–E3m.

Poll Books: Questions F3–F4
There are two key election technologies that are asked about in the EAVS. This set of questions
collects data on the type of poll books used in your jurisdiction’s polling places and how those poll
books were used.
F3–F4. Use of Electronic and Paper Poll Books
For questions F3 and F4, indicate whether your jurisdiction used electronic poll books or printed,
paper poll books in polling places in the November 2022 general election for the listed activities.
Completely vote-by-mail jurisdictions that have no in-person voting options should answer “No” to all
items.
For purposes of these questions, electronic poll books (e-poll books) are defined as a type of
hardware, software, or a combination of both, that is used in the place of a traditional paper poll
book that lists all registered voters. These are not voting machines and are not used in the process
of voting.
For each item below (a, b, c, d, and e), indicate whether your jurisdiction used electronic poll
books/electronic lists of voters or traditional paper poll books at polling places for the following
functions in the November 2022 general election.
