The proposed rule establishes uniform file format specifications, timelines for collection and transfer of data, and other content requirements for compilation, transmission and reporting or availability of absentee ballot request information, early voting activity, precinct-level election results, official results export data, and voting history activity. The proposed rule incorporates only one form by reference (DS-DE #70) which is an application form that must be completed only by statutorily authorized persons or entities who want to obtain otherwise publicly exempt voter absentee ballot request information.
