Hi DFA OVS! I would like to request for data on the following, for all election years possible (2004-present): 1. Statistics on overseas voter registration by week/month before the election per post/country: not just the total number, but the number of registrations per week (or month) before the election. For example for the 2022 election, the deadline was October 2021. Can I request for the number of registrations per post/country for every week/month from the start of the registration period to October 2021? 2. Statistics on receipt of mail ballots by week before the election per post/country: number of mail ballots received by each post by week before the election day. For example for the 2022 election, can I request for the number of mail ballots received by each post for every week from April 2022 to May 2022? Thanks!
