§ 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

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

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.
