"      Section 2. Any voter registration application submitted by a voter who voted a provisional ballot shall be forwarded to the county auditor by the day following the election. No later than the second day following the election, such registration application shall be reviewed by the auditor for eligibility and completeness. If the applicant is not eligible to be registered or sufficient information to complete the card cannot be obtained from the applicant, the applicant shall be sent an acknowledgment notice indicating why the registration was not filed.

     If the applicant is eligible to be registered and all required information is included on the voter registration application, the county auditor shall enter the registration in the master registration file. The county auditor shall transmit each registration to the secretary of state by no later than the second day following the election.

     The authenticity of the driver license number shall be verified with the driver license database. If the person has provided the last four digits of his or her social security number, the social security database shall be checked to determine that the number, name, and date of birth are accurate and that this information does belong to the person. If any of this information is reported as not being accurate, or if the checks indicate that the person is a convicted felon or that the person in whose name the application is made is no longer living, the county auditor shall withdraw the voter registration and attempt to get the correct information with the process provided in §  12-4-5.3. In this case the provisional ballot may not be counted and the voter shall be sent the notice specified in §  12-20-13.4.

     If the information is accurate and the voter registration is entered into the statewide voter file, the provisional ballot shall be counted as provided in chapter 12-20, and the voter shall be sent the acknowledgment card specified in §  12-4-5.3.".
