§ 11-208. Special federal voters; cancellation of registration. 1.

Voters registered pursuant to this title shall be eligible to vote in

every election in which special federal voters are eligible to vote

which is held on or after the thirtieth day after receipt of their

applications for such registration.

2. If any ballot, application form or other mail sent to a special

federal voter at his address outside the United States by such board is

returned by the post office as undeliverable, the board of elections

shall send a confirmation notice to such special federal voter at such

address pursuant to the provisions of section 5-712 of this chapter and

shall place the registration of such voter in inactive status. If the

board of elections subsequently receives notice of a new address outside

the United States for such voter, or notice that the voter is still at

the same address outside the United States, 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 special federal 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 title.

5. Upon cancelling the registration of a special federal voter

pursuant to the provisions of section 5-400 of this chapter, the board

of elections shall forthwith notify such voter at his last address

outside the United States of the fact of the cancellation, the reason

therefor, and of his right to reregister pursuant to this title.
