Abstract: We study fully ramified actions of the elementary abelian $p$ group of rank $kgeq1$, on surfaces of genus $g$, obtaining explicit counts of topological equivalence classes via a combinatorial approach. For rank $k>1$, we introduce the {it partition type} of an action, which encodes, in the form of an additive partition, the number of points fixed by each non-trivial cyclic subgroup. Our results are complete in principle for all groups of rank $1$ and $2$. We tabulate results (as polynomials in $p$) for rank $2$ actions with orbit genus $0$ and up to six branch points.
