Statute Text

(A) A covered voter may use a federal postcard application, the federal postcard application's electronic equivalent, or another method approved by the federal government or the State Election Commission to apply to register to vote.
(B) A covered voter may use the declaration accompanying a federal write-in absentee ballot to apply to register to vote simultaneously with the submission of the federal write-in absentee ballot, if the declaration is received before the closure of the registration books for that election pursuant to Section 7-5-120 , 7-5-150 or 7-5-155 , as appropriate. If the declaration is received after that date, it must be treated as an application to register to vote for subsequent elections.

The voter may use the electronic transmission system or any other approved method to register to vote.
