Methods of registering to vote; use of system of approved
electronic transmission.

1.  In addition to any other method of
registering to vote set forth in chapter 293
of NRS, a covered voter may use a federal postcard application, as prescribed
under section 101(b)(2) of the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting
Act, 52 U.S.C. § 20301(b)(2), or the application’s electronic equivalent, to
apply to register to vote, if the federal postcard application or the
application’s electronic equivalent is received by the appropriate local
elections official before the time set pursuant to NRS 293.273 for closing the polls on
election day. If the federal postcard application or the application’s
electronic equivalent is received after the time set for closing the polls, it
must be treated as an application to register to vote for subsequent elections.
Upon receipt of the electronic equivalent of the federal postcard application
pursuant to this subsection, the local elections official shall affix, mark or
otherwise acknowledge receipt of the application by means of a time stamp on
the application.

2.  A covered voter may use the declaration
accompanying the federal write-in absentee ballot, as prescribed under section
103 of the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act, 52 U.S.C. §
20303, to apply to register to vote simultaneously with the submission of the
federal write-in absentee ballot, if the declaration and the federal write-in
absentee ballot are received before the time set pursuant to NRS 293.273 for closing the polls on
election day. If the declaration is received after the time set for closing the
polls, it must be treated as an application to register to vote for subsequent
elections.

3.  The Secretary of State shall ensure
that the system of approved electronic transmission described in subsection 2
of NRS 293D.200 is capable of
accepting:

(a) Both a federal postcard application and any
other approved electronic registration application sent to the appropriate
local elections official; and

(b) A digital signature or an electronic
signature of a covered voter on the documents described in paragraph (a).

4.  The covered voter may use the system of
approved electronic transmission or any other method set forth in chapter 293 of NRS to register to vote.
