application and a backup ballot for use by the States to permit absent 
uniformed services voters and overseas voters to participate in 
general, special, primary and runoff elections for Federal office. The 
authority for the States to collect personal information comes from 
UOCAVA. The burden for collecting this information resides in the 
States. The Federal government neither collects nor retains any 
personal information associated with these forms.

absentee ballots, to the uniformed services, their eligible family
