If the information transferred under section 2(b) reflects an individual not included on the voter registration list, and if the appropriate election official determines that the individual meets the qualifications to vote in an election for Federal office and is not otherwise ineligible to vote in such an election (or has not elected to opt out of automatic voter registration pursuant to section 2(c)(2)), the State shall ensure that the eligible voter is registered to vote in accordance with this subsection and is added to the voter registration list.
If State or local election officials determine, in accordance with paragraph (1), that an individual is an eligible voter, State election officials shall— notify the individual in writing that they have been registered to vote; and inform the individual of the process to adopt a political party affiliation. If the information transferred under section 2(b) reflects an individual already included on the voter registration list, and if the information reliably indicates a more recent change to the name or address of the individual, the State shall ensure that the records of the individual on the voter registration list are updated accordingly.
Nothing in this section shall preclude a person who has previously declined voter registration from subsequently registering. Each State shall maintain all obligations applicable as of the date of enactment of this Act to register voters upon receipt of a valid voter registration application through means provided by the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 ( 52 U.S.C. 20501 et seq. ).
