N.Y. Election Law § 10-107: Military voters; designation of means of transmission by military voters

§ 10-107. Military voters; designation of means of transmission by

military voters. 1. A military voter may designate a preference to

receive a voter registration application, a military ballot application

or a military ballot by mail, facsimile transmission or electronic mail.

Such designation shall remain in effect until revoked or changed by the

military voter. If a military voter does not designate a preference, the

board of elections shall transmit the voter registration application,

military ballot application or military ballot by mail. If a military

voter designates a preference for facsimile transmission or electronic

mail but does not provide the necessary facsimile number or e-mail

address, the board of elections shall transmit the voter registration

application, military ballot application or military ballot by mail and

request the omitted information. All communications to the military

voter shall include the mailing address of the board of elections.

2. Irrespective of the preferred method of transmission designated by

a military voter, a military voter's original completed voter

registration application, military ballot application and military

ballot must be returned by mail or in person notwithstanding that a

prior copy was sent to the board of elections by facsimile transmission

or electronic mail.
