53.38 What constitutes registration.
Whenever a ballot is requested pursuant to section 53.39 or 53.45 on behalf of a voter in the
armed forces of the United States, the affidavit upon the envelope marked with the affidavit
of such voter, if the voter is found to be an eligible elector of the county to which the ballot is
submitted, shall constitute a sufficient registration under chapter 48A. A completed federal
postcard registration and federal absentee ballot request form submitted by such eligible
elector shall also constitute a sufficient registration under chapter 48A. The commissioner
shall place the voter’s name on the registration record as a registered voter if it does not
already appear there. The identification requirements of section 48A.8 and the verification
requirements of section 48A.25A do not apply to persons who register to vote under this
subchapter.
