  Section 1. Subdivision 3 of section 5-210  of  the  election  law,  as
amended  by  chapter  255  of  the  laws  of 2015, is amended to read as
follows:
  3.  Completed  application  forms,  when  received  by  any  board  of
elections  and,  with  respect  to  application forms promulgated by the
federal election  commission,  when  received  by  the  state  board  of
elections,  or  showing  a  dated cancellation mark of the United States
Postal Service or contained in an envelope showing such a dated  cancel-
lation  mark  which  is  not later than the [twenty-fifth] FIFTEENTH day

received  no  later than the [twentieth] TENTH day before such election,
or delivered in person to such board of elections  not  later  than  the
tenth  day before [a special] SUCH election, shall entitle the applicant

does  reside elsewhere in the state of New York, shall forthwith forward
such application form to the proper board of elections.  Each  board  of

received by such board.
  § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
