53.38 WHAT CONSTITUTES REGISTRATION.
Whenever a ballot is requested pursuant to section 53.39 or 53.45
on behalf of a voter in the armed forces of the United States, the
affidavit upon the affidavit envelope of such voter, if the voter is
found to be an eligible elector of the county to which the ballot is
submitted, shall constitute a sufficient registration under chapter
48A. A completed federal postcard registration and federal absentee
ballot request form submitted by such eligible elector shall also
constitute a sufficient registration under chapter 48A. The
commissioner shall place the voter's name on the registration record
as a registered voter if it does not already appear there. The
identification requirements of section 48A.8 and the verification
requirements of section 48A.25A do not apply to persons who register
to vote under this division. Section History: Early Form
