A significant requirement of the MOVE Act is that ballots must be sent to UOCAVA  (Uniformed and Overseas Voting Act) voters who have requested absentee ballots 45 days before general, special, primary, and runoff elections for federal office.  The Act also states that the  voters have the right to request the ballot by electronic means, i.e. fax or email or web.  Most States have extended the same courtesy to the UOCAVA voters for elections that are strictly State or local. The new MOVE Act provision has compressed  the lead time for sending out the absentee ballots, creating a difficult dilemma for States with late primaries.

To meet this new requirement, most States have established  a list of UOCAVA and non-UOCAVA absentee voters, and the lists annotate the UOCAVA voters who have requested to receive their ballots by electronic means.  The election administrators currently dispatch the ballots via a combination of mailed envelopes,  separate  faxes, and individual emails.

Konnech's AbsenteeVote (ABVote.com) program automates the process with no extra input from the staff.  It draws the UOCAVA and non-UOCAVA absentee voters from the databases, discriminates between different types and statuses according to State protocols, matches the correct ballots, emails and faxes to those who've requested those methods with appropriate instructions and supporting documents, and creates a mail merge list for U. S. Postal Mail to the rest.
