Establish election day voter registration system allowing individuals with proper identification to register and vote on the day of any regular municipal or state election after the state-wide centralized voter registration system is certified by the State Elections Enforcement Commission

Require registrars of voters to check the centralized voter registration system before accepting election day registrations to verify the applicant is not already registered as an elector in another municipality

Issue accepted applicants a notice of acceptance indicating their voting district and polling place, which they present to polling place moderators who add their names and addresses to official checklists

Mandate registrars send confirmation notices to new election day registrants within seven days after the election, with undelivered confirmations referred to the State Elections Enforcement Commission
