§  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.
