Notwithstanding section 8(a)(1)(D) of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (42 U.S.C. 1973gg–6), each State shall permit any eligible individual on the day of an election for Federal office and on any day when voting, including early voting, is permitted for an election for Federal office— to register to vote in such election using a form that meets the requirements under section 9(b) of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993; and to cast a vote in such election. Each State shall provide a secure online interface available to the public on a public, government website that allows any eligible individual to register to vote or to update their voter registration with an online voter registration application that meets the requirements of the mail voter registration application form described in section 9 of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 ( 42 U.S.C. 1973gg–7(a)(2) ).
The online application shall be processed in the same manner as a mail voter registration application form is processed, subject to the requirements of section 303(b) of the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (42 U.S.C. 15483(b)), except that the absence of a written signature shall not preclude the registration of an eligible individual. Each State shall be required to comply with the requirements of this subsection on and after the date that is one year after the date of enactment of this Act.
For purposes of this section, the term eligible individual means, with respect to an election for Federal office, an individual who is otherwise qualified to vote in that election. This section shall not apply to a State in which, under a State law in effect continuously on and after the date of the enactment of this section, there is no voter registration requirement for individuals in the State with respect to elections for Federal office.
