        53.38  WHAT CONSTITUTES REGISTRATION.
         Whenever a ballot is requested pursuant to section 53.39 or 53.45
      on behalf of a voter in the armed forces of the United States, the
      affidavit upon the affidavit envelope of such voter, if the voter is
      found to be an eligible elector of the county to which the ballot is
      submitted, shall constitute a sufficient registration under chapter
      48A.  A completed federal postcard registration and federal absentee
      ballot request form submitted by such eligible elector shall also
      constitute a sufficient registration under chapter 48A.  The
      commissioner shall place the voter's name on the registration record
      as a registered voter if it does not already appear there.  The
      identification requirements of section 48A.8 and the verification
      requirements of section 48A.25A do not apply to persons who register
      to vote under this division.
