The Help America Vote Act (HAVA) requires the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) to collect data on voters falling under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Voting Act, or UOCAVA. In its new report on UOCAVA voters in the 2006 election, the EAC explores the unique issues that these voters faced and makes recommendations for serving them better in the future.
