  Section 1. Resolved (if the Senate concur), That section 9 of  article
2 of the constitution be amended to read as follows:
  S  9. A. Notwithstanding the residence requirements imposed by section
one of this article,  the  legislature  may,  by  general  law,  provide
special procedures whereby every person who shall have moved from anoth-
er  state  to this state or from one county, city or village within this
state to another county, city or village within this state and who shall
have been an inhabitant of this state in any event for ninety days  next
preceding  an election at which electors are to be chosen for the office
of president and vice president of the United States shall  be  entitled
to  vote in this state solely for such electors, provided such person is
otherwise qualified to vote in this state and is not able to qualify  to
vote  for such electors in any other state. The legislature may also, by
general law, prescribe special procedures whereby every  person  who  is
registered  and  would be qualified to vote in this state but for his or
her removal from this state  to  another  state  within  one  year  next
preceding  such  election shall be entitled to vote in this state solely
for such electors, provided such person is not able to qualify  to  vote
for such electors in any other state.
  B.  NOTWITHSTANDING  SECTION TWO OF THIS ARTICLE, THE LEGISLATURE MAY,
BY GENERAL LAW, FOR ANY ELECTION AT WHICH ELECTORS ARE TO BE CHOSEN  FOR
THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, PROVIDE
A MANNER IN WHICH, AND THE TIME AND PLACE AT WHICH, QUALIFIED VOTERS MAY
VOTE  PRIOR TO THE DATE OF SUCH ELECTION, AND FOR THE RETURN AND CANVASS
OF THEIR VOTES.
