§  11-202.  Registration  and enrollment of special federal voters and
  application for special federal ballot. 1. a. A person, who, pursuant to
  this title, is qualified to vote as a  special  federal  voter  may,  by
  application  received by the state board of elections or any local board
  of elections on or before the tenth day next preceding any  election  in
  which  such  person  would  be entitled to vote or the last day of local
  registration for such election, whichever is later, apply to  the  board
  of  elections  of  the  county  in  which  they  resided in person or by
  personal application by  mail  for  registration  and  enrollment  as  a
  special  federal  voter.  An application for registration and enrollment
  pursuant to this article shall  be  treated  as  an  application  for  a
  special  federal  ballot for every election in which the applicant would
  be eligible to vote which is held through and  including  the  next  two
  regularly  scheduled  general  elections  held  in  even numbered years,
  including any run-offs which may occur.
b. A person who, pursuant to the provisions of this title, is  already
  registered  as  a special federal voter, may, by application received by
  the state board of elections or any local board of elections,  apply  to
  the  board  of  elections  of the county in which he is so registered in
  person or by mail for a special  federal  ballot.  Such  an  application
  shall  entitle  such  a  voter to receive a ballot for every election in
  which such voter is entitled to vote which is held through and including
  the next two regularly scheduled general elections held in even numbered
  years, including any run-offs which may occur, provided,  however,  such
  application  shall  not  apply  to  any  election  held on or before the
  seventh day after receipt of such application.
c. Insofar as the provisions of this chapter providing  for  permanent
  personal  registration and enrollment, and enrollment by mail or special
  enrollment, and voting in person or by absentee ballot do  not  conflict
  with  any  provision  of  this  title,  such provisions shall apply to a
  person authorized to register and vote under this title; in the case  of
  any  such  conflict,  the provision of this title shall prevail and such
  other provision of this chapter shall not apply.  For  the  purposes  of
  this  title,  any  person  eligible  pursuant  to the provisions of this
  chapter to vote by  absentee  ballot  shall  be  eligible  for  absentee
  registration and enrollment.
d.  In  addition  to  any  other  method  of registering to vote or of
  applying for a special federal  ballot,  a  special  federal  voter  may
  request  a  voter  registration application or request a special federal
  ballot application by facsimile transmission to the board  of  elections
  or  pursuant  to the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act
  or by electronic mail. When making such a request, the  special  federal
  voter  may  designate  a  preference  for  transmission  of  such  voter
  registration application and special federal ballot application pursuant
  to section 11-203 of this title.
e. The special federal ballot  application  shall  allow  the  special
  federal  voter  to designate a preference to receive the special federal
  ballot pursuant to section 11-203 of this title.
f. The  procedures  for  receiving  documents  from  and  transmitting
  documents  to  a special federal voter shall, to the extent practicable,
  protect  the  security  and  integrity  of  the  special  federal  voter
  registration  and special federal ballot application request process and
  protect the privacy of the special federal voter, including the  voter's
  identity  and other personal data. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit
  the information that may be obtained pursuant to section 3-220  of  this
  chapter.
2.  a.  A  form  of  application  for registration and enrollment as a
  special federal voter and for a special federal  ballot  or  a  form  of

  application  for a special federal ballot by persons registered pursuant
  to this title shall be furnished  by  the  board  of  elections  to  the
  applicant  who shall request such form within the time limited therefor.
  The  application shall be made and signed by the applicant at the places
  thereon provided for such purpose and such  applicant  shall  set  forth
  therein  all  of  the  facts required to establish his qualifications to
  register and vote under this title.
b. The forms for use under this section  shall  be  of  a  distinctive
  color  and  substantially  in  the form prescribed by the state board of
  elections and shall elicit all the information which may be necessary to
  determine eligibility to register and vote pursuant to the provisions of
  this title.
