scope:

This standard specifies electronic data interchange formats for blank ballot distribution, primarily to satisfy the needs of the Uniform and Overseas Citizens Assistance in Voting Act (UOCAVA) and Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment (MOVE) Act. Subsequent standards may address other requirements for electronic data interchange formats used by components of voting systems for exchange of electronic data. This scope does not include return of cast ballots by electronic means.

Purpose

This standard defines common data interchange formats to allow export of blank ballots from voting systems, primarily to facilitate the casting of ballots by military and overseas voters.
