 7 effective after the board of elections processes the affidavit, deter-
 8 mines the registrant's eligibility to register, and validates the regis-
 9 trant's information, as specified in paragraph (h) of this subdivision.
 10 (g) In addition to other methods of voter registration provided under
 11 this chapter, an elector who is otherwise qualified to register to vote
 12 and to cast a ballot under sections one and three of article two of the

 14 tion and cast an affidavit ballot at an early voting or election day
 15 polling location at any time permissible under section five of article
 16 two of the New York state constitution, other restrictions on the time
 17 for registration in this chapter notwithstanding.
 18 (h) (1) A conditional voter registration shall be deemed effective if
 19 the board of elections is able to determine before or during the canvass
 20 period for the election that the registrant is eligible to register to
 21 vote and that the information provided by the registrant on the regis-
 22 tration affidavit matches information contained in a database maintained
