OFFICIAL COMMENT
The first category of elections delineated in this section is the only category covered by the UOCAVA. However, even for these elections, this act provides additional accommodations to military and overseas voters that are not provided under the UOCAVA. The second and third categories of state and local elections extend the act's accommodations to non-federal elections not within the UOCAVA scope. These two categories are distinguished primarily to permit an enacting state more easily to consider providing different accommodations to military and overseas voters depending on the type of election.
