§ 11-200. Special federal voters; qualifications. 1. Every citizen of

the United States now residing outside the United States whose last

domicile in the United States immediately prior to his departure from

the United States was in the state of New York, shall be entitled to

vote from such last domicile, as a special federal voter in all primary,

special and general elections for the public offices or party positions

of president and vice-president of the United States, United States

senator, representative in congress and delegates and alternate

delegates to a national convention, provided such citizen, at the time

of such departure from the United States, could have met all the present

qualifications of this chapter to vote in federal elections from such

last domicile, except the qualification with respect to minimum voting

age, even though such citizen does not now maintain a place of abode or

domicile in the state of New York, and provided further that such

citizen does not maintain a place of abode or domicile, is not

registered to vote and is not voting in any other election district,

state, territory or possession of the United States and provided further

that such citizen has a valid passport or card of identity and

registration issued under the authority of the secretary of state of the

United States.

1-a. Every citizen of the United States of voting age, residing

outside of the United States, who has never resided within the United

States, and who has one parent who qualifies as a special federal voter

under subdivision one of this section, may register and vote as a

special federal voter, from the qualifying parent's New York address,

provided that person is otherwise qualified and eligible to vote.

2. Every person registered pursuant to this title shall continue to be

eligible to vote in all elections in which special federal voters are

eligible to vote except that in order to vote at a primary election of a

party, a voter registered pursuant to this title must have been so

registered and enrolled in such party before the previous general

election; or, if such voter was not registered in New York state for the

previous general election, such voter must so register and enroll in

such party not later than ten days before such primary; or, if such

voter was registered in New York state for the last general election,

such voter must have had the same party enrollment with such

registration as such voter sets forth on their application for

registration and enrollment as a special federal voter.

3. A special federal voter who moves from one address outside the

United States to another address outside the United States shall not

have to reregister unless his registration is cancelled pursuant to the

provisions of section 5-400 of this chapter.
