Section 11-202. Registration and enrollment of special federal voters and application for special federal ballot  


Latest version.
  • 1.  a. A person,  who,  pursuant
      to  this  title, is qualified to vote as a special federal voter may, by
      application received by the state board of elections or any local  board
      of  elections  on  or  before  the  twenty-fifth  day next preceding any
      election in which such person would be entitled to vote or the last  day
      of  local  registration  for such election, whichever is later, apply to
      the board of elections of the county in which he resided in person or by
      personal application by  mail  for  registration  and  enrollment  as  a
      special  federal  voter.  An application for registration and enrollment
      pursuant to this article shall  be  treated  as  an  application  for  a
      special  federal  ballot for every election in which the applicant would
      be eligible to vote which is held through and  including  the  next  two
      regularly  scheduled  general  elections  held  in  even numbered years,
      including any run-offs which may occur.
        b. A person who, pursuant to the provisions of this title, is  already
      registered  as  a special federal voter, may, by application received by
      the state board of elections or any local board of elections,  apply  to
      the  board  of  elections  of the county in which he is so registered in
      person or by mail for a special  federal  ballot.  Such  an  application
      shall  entitle  such  a  voter to receive a ballot for every election in
      which such voter is entitled to vote which is held through and including
      the next two regularly scheduled general elections held in even numbered
      years, including any run-offs which may occur, provided,  however,  such
      application  shall  not  apply  to  any  election  held on or before the
      seventh day after receipt of such application.
        c. Insofar as the provisions of this chapter providing  for  permanent
      personal  registration and enrollment, and enrollment by mail or special
      enrollment, and voting in person or by absentee ballot do  not  conflict
      with  any  provision  of  this  title,  such provisions shall apply to a
      person authorized to register and vote under this title; in the case  of
      any  such  conflict,  the provision of this title shall prevail and such
      other provision of this chapter shall not apply.  For  the  purposes  of
      this  title,  any  person  eligible  pursuant  to the provisions of this
      chapter to vote by  absentee  ballot  shall  be  eligible  for  absentee
      registration and enrollment.
        d.  A  special federal voter may apply for a special federal ballot by
      facsimile transmission pursuant to the Uniformed and  Overseas  Citizens
      Absentee Voting Act or electronic mail.
        2.  a.  A  form  of  application  for registration and enrollment as a
      special federal voter and for a special federal  ballot  or  a  form  of
      application  for a special federal ballot by persons registered pursuant
      to this title shall be furnished  by  the  board  of  elections  to  the
      applicant  who shall request such form within the time limited therefor.
      The application shall be made and signed by the applicant at the  places
      thereon  provided  for  such  purpose and such applicant shall set forth
      therein all of the facts required to  establish  his  qualifications  to
      register and vote under this title.
        b.  The  forms  for  use  under this section shall be of a distinctive
      color and substantially in the form prescribed by  the  state  board  of
      elections and shall elicit all the information which may be necessary to
      determine eligibility to register and vote pursuant to the provisions of
      this title.
