2006 ELECTION ADMINISTRATION AND VOTING SURVEY 1

SECTION ONE: VOTER REGISTRATION 1

SECTION TWO: NOVEMBER 7, 2006, ELECTION RESULTS 17

Survey Description

In 2004 and 2005, the EAC administered two separate surveys to collect and report the information required under NVRA and Section §102(c) of the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voter Act (UOCAVA). In addition, it conducted a third survey to collect information regarding the November, 2004 Federal general elections. To reduce the burden of responding to multiple collections of information, facilitate data collection and reporting, and encourage participation in 2006, the EAC incorporated the three previous collections into a single survey instrument (2006 Election Administration and Voting Survey). The latter was designed with feedback received from State and local election officials, political scientists, researchers, members of election and voter registration groups, and the general public.

In May 2005, the EAC met with a small group of election officials to solicit their feedback regarding the 2004 Election Day Survey. The group discussed the challenges faced by election officials when collecting the survey’s data, including the interpretation of the survey questions and terms and the methods for assembling the data. In April 2006, the EAC convened a second group, this time consisting of election officials, social scientists, and voter interest groups, to discuss recommendations to improve the EAC’s data collection efforts, including the design of one survey instrument to collect all of the required data. One month later, the EAC completed the first draft of the 2006 Election Administration and Voting Survey and presented it to the EAC’s Advisory and Standards Boards. The boards are comprised of 110 State and local election officials and another 37 are drawn from various national associations and government agencies that play a role in the implementation of HAVA and science and technology-related professionals appointed by Congressional members. In addition, a presentation of the survey was made to the annual meeting of the National Association of State Election Directors (NASED) in the summer of 2006. The survey was revised based on the comments received from the EAC Boards and NASED and a second draft was produced.

The second draft of the survey was posted on the Federal Register on August 1, 2006 (71 FR 43477), for a period of 60 days to solicit public comments as required for approval of an information collection under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA). The survey was revised once more based on the fourteen comments received during the 60 days public comment period, and was published for an additional 30 days in the Federal Register on October 31, 2006 (71 FR 63755). States were notified of both comment periods and the draft survey was made available on the EAC’s website. The 2006 Election Administration and Voting Survey was approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on November 30, 2006 (OMB Control No 3265-0006, exp 11/30/2009). The final, approved version of the survey contained 58 questions, 28 requiring information only at the state level and 30 required both statewide and county level information.

In addition to the revisions made to the survey to improve the clarity of thee questions and the terminology, the EAC designed a web-based application for the States to submit their data. In early December 2006, the EAC provided the states with an identification and password to log-in to the online survey to begin to enter data. The deadline for the States to submit the data was March 7, 2007. However, data was collected and tabulated until the NVRA, UOCAVA, and Election Day Survey reports were completed in summer 2007. Unlike the previous surveys conducted by the EAC and the FEC to collect the NVRA data, the 2006 survey asked for both statewide and county/local election jurisdiction totals for each of the questions, rather than a single statewide number. Despite the efforts to facilitate the survey response process and the communication with State election officials since the first draft of the survey in May 2006, a number of states were unprepared or unable to answer some questions, and in some cases, states chose to submit a single, statewide summary rather than information for each county or election jurisdiction.
