(a) The Guam Election Commission shall conduct a review of all absentee ballots received, and all provisional ballots for the 2010 General Election, within forty-five (45) days of the enactment of this Act. In conducting this review the Commission shall:

(1) Determine which provisional ballots were not accepted in the
2010 election because the voter was not on the registration rolls, but should have been counted because the voter was purged from the rolls without due process as required by statute, and then conduct a count of the votes cast if those ballots had been accepted.

(2) Count the votes cast in all absentee ballots received by the Guam Election Commission for local elections that were received in the same manner and timeframe as applied to federal elections in accordance with 42 U.S.C. §§ 19673ff-1(a)(8).
