chapter. The system of approved electronic transmission must include, without
limitation, a method by which a covered voter may provide his or her digital

3.  The Secretary of State shall develop
standardized absentee-voting materials, including, without limitation, privacy

the extent reasonably possible, shall do so in coordination with other states.

4.  The Secretary of State shall prescribe
the form and content of a declaration for use by a covered voter to swear or

prescribed to accompany a federal write-in absentee ballot under section 103 of
the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act, 52 U.S.C. § 20303, as
modified to be consistent with this chapter. The Secretary of State shall ensure
that a form for the execution of the declaration, including an indication of
the date of execution of the declaration, is a prominent part of all balloting
materials for which the declaration is required.

by regulation the duties of a local elections official upon receipt of a

used by a local elections official in accepting, handling and counting a
military-overseas ballot.

preregister to vote pursuant to NRS
293.4855 except for the residency requirement; and

guardian of the person was, or under this chapter would have been, eligible to
