Section 10-109. Military voters; cancellation of registration  


Latest version.
  • 1. Voters
      registered pursuant to this article shall be eligible to vote  in  every
      election  in  which  military  voters are eligible to vote which is held
      more than ten days after the date of the receipt of  their  applications
      for such registration.
        2.  If  any  ballot, application form or other mail sent to a military
      voter at his military address by the board of elections is  returned  by
      the post office as undeliverable, the board of elections shall ascertain
      whether  the  military  voter  is  residing  at the address given on his
      registration records as his permanent address. If he is residing at such
      address, the board shall not  send  him  any  further  military  ballots
      unless  he  applies  for  them in the regular way, giving a new military
      address. If such military  voter  is  not  residing  at  such  permanent
      address, the board of elections shall send a confirmation notice to such
      military  voter  at his last military address pursuant to the provisions
      of section 5-712 of this chapter and shall  place  the  registration  of
      such  voter  in inactive status.   However, if such a voter notifies the
      board of elections that he has moved to  a  new  military  address,  the
      board  shall  restore the registration of such voter to active status in
      the manner prescribed by section 5-213 of this chapter.
        3. The board of elections shall process and preserve  the  records  of
      such   registrations,  including  the  original  applications  for  such
      registrations, in the same manner and for the same period of time as the
      records  of   other   voters   registered   under   permanent   personal
      registration.
        4.  A  military  voter whose registration is cancelled pursuant to the
      provisions of section  5-400  of  this  chapter  shall  be  eligible  to
      reregister in the manner provided by this article.
        5.  Upon  cancelling  the registration of a military voter pursuant to
      the provisions of section 5-400 of this chapter, the board of  elections
      shall  forthwith  notify  such voter at his last military address and at
      his permanent residence address of the fact  of  the  cancellation,  the
      reason  therefor,  and  of  his  right  to  reregister  pursuant to this
      article.
