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

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.
