§ NRS § 293D.300Methods for applying

1.  A covered voter who is registered to
vote in this State may apply for a military-overseas ballot by submitting 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, 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.

2.  A covered voter who is not registered
to vote in this State may use the federal postcard application or the
application’s electronic equivalent simultaneously to apply to register to vote
pursuant to NRS 293D.230 and to apply
for a military-overseas ballot, 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 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.  Upon receipt of the electronic
equivalent of the federal postcard application pursuant to subsection 1 or 2,
the local elections official shall affix, mark or otherwise acknowledge receipt
of the application by means of a time stamp on the application.

4.  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 the submission of:

(a) Both a federal postcard application and any
other approved electronic military-overseas ballot 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).

5.  A covered voter may use approved
electronic transmission or any other method approved by the Secretary of State
to apply for a military-overseas ballot.

6.  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, as an application for a military-overseas ballot simultaneously with the
submission of the federal write-in absentee ballot, if the declaration and the
federal write-in absentee ballot are received by the appropriate local
elections official before the time set pursuant to NRS 293.273 for closing the polls on
election day.

7.  To receive the benefits of this
chapter, a covered voter must inform the appropriate local elections official
that he or she is a covered voter. Methods of informing the appropriate local
elections official that a person is a covered voter include, without
limitation:

(a) The use of a federal postcard application or
federal write-in absentee ballot;

(b) The use of an overseas address on an approved
voting registration application or ballot application; and

(c) The inclusion on an application to register
to vote or an application for a military-overseas ballot of other information
sufficient to identify that the person is a covered voter.

8.  This chapter does not prohibit a
covered voter from voting a mail ballot pursuant to the provisions of chapter 293 or 293C
of NRS or voting in person.
