The purpose of this memorandum is to notify you that we are initiating the subject evaluation. The objective of this evaluation is to assess the effectiveness of the Military Services’ voting assistance programs based on 2025 annual reviews by the respective Service Offices of Inspector General, and in accordance with section 1566, title 10, United States Code, 2020, as amended. We plan to perform this evaluation in accordance with the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency “Quality Standards for Inspection and Evaluation.”
We request that you designate two points of contact for this evaluation within 5 days of this memorandum. One point of contact should be a Government employee—a GS-15, pay band equivalent, or military equivalent—who is knowledgeable of the Services’ annual reviews of voting assistance programs. The second point of contact should be a member of the Senior Executive Service or a General/Flag Officer who is familiar with the Services’ annual reviews of voting assistance programs and could serve as a point of engagement with DoD Office of Inspector General senior leaders, if necessary.
