Section 302 of the Help America Vote Act of 2002 ( 52 U.S.C. 21082 ), as amended by section 1601(a), is amended— by redesignating subsection
(e)as subsection (h); and by inserting after subsection
(d)the following new subsections: For purposes of subsection (a)(4), if a provisional ballot is cast within the same county in which the voter is registered or otherwise eligible to vote, then notwithstanding the precinct or polling place at which a provisional ballot is cast within the county, the appropriate election official of the jurisdiction in which the individual is registered or otherwise eligible to vote shall count each vote on such ballot for each election in which the individual who cast such ballot is eligible to vote. Nothing in this subsection shall prohibit a State or jurisdiction from counting a provisional ballot which is cast in a different county within the State than the county in which the voter is registered or otherwise eligible to vote. This subsection shall apply with respect to elections held on or after January 1, 2022. Consistent with the requirements of this section, each State shall establish uniform and nondiscriminatory standards for the issuance, handling, and counting of provisional ballots. This subsection shall apply with respect to elections held on or after January 1, 2022. If an individual in a State is eligible to cast a provisional ballot as provided under this section, the State may not impose any additional conditions or requirements (including conditions or requirements regarding the timeframe in which a provisional ballot may be cast) on the eligibility of the individual to cast such provisional ballot. . Section 302(h) of such Act ( 52 U.S.C. 21082(g) ), as amended by section 1601(a) and redesignated by subsection (a), is amended by striking subsection (d)(4) and inserting subsections (d)(4), (e)(3), and (f)(2) .
