another

A. An elector who is correcting the residence address shown on the elector's voter
registration record shall reregister with the new residence address or correct the voter
registration record as prescribed by this section.

B. An elector who moves from the address at which he is registered to another
address within the same county and who fails to notify the county recorder of the change
of address before the date of an election shall be permitted to correct the voter
registration records at the appropriate polling place for the voter's new address. The
voter shall present a form of identification that includes the voter's given name and
surname and the voter's complete residence address that is located within the precinct
for the voter's new residence address. The voter shall affirm in writing the new
residence address and shall be permitted to vote a provisional ballot.

C. When an elector completes voting a provisional ballot, the election official
shall place the ballot in an envelope for provisional ballots and shall deposit the
envelope in the ballot box designated for provisional ballots.

D. Within ten calendar days after a general election that includes an election for
a federal office and within five business days after any other election, a provisional
ballot shall be compared to the signature roster for the precinct in which the voter was
listed and if the voter's signature does not appear on the signature roster for that
election and if there is no record of that voter having voted early for that election,
the provisional ballot shall be counted. If the signature roster or early ballot
information indicates that the person did vote in that election, the provisional ballot
for that person shall remain unopened and shall not be counted.

E. An elector may also correct the residence address on the elector's voter
registration record by requesting the address change on a written request for an early

following:

1. A request to change the voter registration record.

2. The elector's new residence address.
