We plan to begin the subject evaluation immediately. The objective of this evaluation is to report on the effectiveness and compliance of the Services’ voting assistance programs based on 2022 annual reviews by the respective Service Inspectors General, in accordance with section 1566, title 10, United States Code. We will also report on DoD compliance with DoD Instruction 1000.04, “Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP),” November 12, 2019; DoD Directive 5101.11E, “DoD Executive Agent for the Military Postal Service (MPS) and Official Mail Program (OMP),” March 18, 2021; and DoD Instruction 4525.09, “Military Postal Service,” July 10, 2018 (Incorporating Change 2, May 24, 2022), with regard to outreach and access efforts for voters covered by the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA). Specifically, we will focus on access to absentee voter registration for voters covered by the UOCAVA and the handling of those absentee ballots by the DoD.
