1.  An elector may register to vote in the
county or city, as applicable, in which the elector is eligible to vote by
submitting an application to register to vote by computer using the system
established by the Secretary of State pursuant to NRS 293.671 before the elector appears at a
polling place described in subsection 2 to vote in person.

2.  If an elector submits an application to
register to vote pursuant to this section less than 14 days before the
election, the elector may vote only in person:

(a) During the period for early voting, at any
polling place for early voting by personal appearance in the county or city, as

provide his or her current and valid driver’s license or identification card
issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles which shows his or her physical
address as proof of the elector’s identity and residency.

4.  If the driver’s license or
identification card issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles to the elector
does not have the elector’s current residential address, the following
documents may be used to establish the residency of the elector if the current
residential address of the elector, as indicated on his or her application to
register to vote, is displayed on the document:

5.  Subject to final verification, if an
elector submits an application to register to vote and appears at a polling
place to vote in person pursuant to this section:

(a) The elector shall be deemed to be
conditionally registered to vote at the polling place upon:

established by the Secretary of State pursuant to NRS 293.671 and that the application to
register to vote is complete; and

polling place;

(2) Must vote as soon as practicable and
before leaving that polling place; and
