driver's license or identification card issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles
which shows his or her physical address as proof of the elector's identity and residency. 4. If the driver's license or identification card issued by the Department of Motor
Vehicles to the elector does not have the elector's current residential address, the

Subject to final verification, if an elector submits an application to register
to vote and appears at a polling place to vote in person pursuant to this section: (a) The elector shall be deemed to be conditionally registered to vote at the polling
place upon: (1) The determination that the elector submitted the application to register to vote
by computer using the system established by the Secretary of State pursuant to NRS 293.671 and that the application to register to vote is complete; and (2) The verification of the elector's identity and residency pursuant to this section. (b) After the elector is deemed to be conditionally registered to vote at the polling
place pursuant to paragraph (a), the elector: (1) May vote in the election only at that polling place; (2) Must vote as soon as practicable and before leaving that polling place; and (3) Must vote by casting a provisional ballot, unless it is verified, at that time,
