1. Upon transmission of the information to the database created by the Secretary of

State pursuant to NRS 293.675 by an automatic voter registration agency, the county clerk shall collate the information

into an individual electronic document, which shall be deemed an application to register

to vote. The county clerk shall review the voter registration information transmitted by

the automatic voter registration agency to determine whether the person is eligible

to register to vote in this State. 2. If the county clerk determines that a person is eligible to vote, the person shall

be deemed a registered voter. The person's name must appear on the statewide voter registration list and the appropriate

roster and the person must be provided all sample ballots and other voter information

provided to registered voters. 3. In addition to the requirements of subsection 2, the county clerk shall immediately

mail a notice to the current residence of the person. The notice must be in the form prescribed by the Secretary of State and include,

without limitation: (a) A space for the person to indicate a political party affiliation; (b) A space for the person to affirmatively decline to apply to register to vote or

have his or her voter registration updated, as applicable; (c) A preaddressed return envelope with postage prepaid; (d) A statement setting forth the qualifications to vote in this State as provided

by NRS 293.485 and that if the person does not meet the qualifications to vote in this State, the

person should return the notice and affirmatively decline in writing to register to

vote; (e) A statement explaining that unless the person affirmatively declines in writing

to apply to register to vote or have his or her voter registration information updated,

as applicable, the person is deemed to have consented to the transmission of information

to the database created by the Secretary of State pursuant to NRS 293.675 by the automatic voter registration agency for the purpose of registering the person

to vote or updating the voter registration information on the statewide voter registration

list; (f) A statement explaining that if the person affirmatively declines in writing to

apply to register to vote or to have his or her voter registration information updated,

as applicable, the county clerk will remove the person from the statewide voter registration

list or revert the person's information on the statewide voter registration list to

the information that was on the statewide voter registration list before the automatic

voter registration agency transmitted the information, and the person shall be deemed

to not have registered to vote or updated his or her voter registration information,

as applicable; (g) A statement setting forth the penalties for submitting a false application to

register to vote; and (h) A statement that: (1) Indicates a political party affiliation or indicates that the person is not affiliated

with a political party is voluntary; (2) The person may indicate a political party affiliation on the form provided by

the county clerk in the notice; and (3) The person will not be able to vote at a primary election, presidential preference

primary election or primary city election for candidates for partisan offices of a

major political party unless the person updates his or her voter registration information

to indicate a major political party affiliation. 4. The county clerk may send the notice required pursuant to subsection 3 by electronic

mail if the person confirms the validity of the electronic mail address to which the

notice will be sent by responding a confirmation inquiry sent to that electronic mail

address. 5. The failure or refusal of the person to acknowledge that he or she has received

the notice required by subsection 3 is not a declination by the person to apply to

register to vote or have his or her voter registration information updated. 6. If the county clerk determines that a person is not eligible to register to vote

or if the voter affirmatively declines in writing to be registered to vote or have

his or her automatic voter registration updated: (a) It shall be deemed that the transmittal from the automatic voter registration

agency is not a completed voter registration application; (b) It shall be deemed that the person did not apply to register to vote; (c) It shall be deemed that the transmission of the person's information by the automatic

voter registration system was an official authorized act; (d) It shall be deemed that the person did not falsely claim citizenship in order

to register to vote unless the person affirmatively claimed to be a citizen to the

automatic voter registration agency; and (e) The county clerk must remove the person's registration from the database created

by the Secretary of State pursuant to NRS 293.675 or revert the person's information on the database to the information that was on

the database before the automatic voter registration agency transmitted the information

to the county clerk, as applicable.
