| ||||||
9 | Sec. 4-10.
Except as herein provided, no person shall be | ||||||
10 | registered,
unless he applies in person to a registration | ||||||
11 | officer, answers such
relevant questions as may be asked of him | ||||||
12 | by the registration officer,
and executes the affidavit of | ||||||
13 | registration. The registration officer shall
require the | ||||||
14 | applicant to furnish two forms of identification, and except in | ||||||
15 | the
case of a homeless individual, one of which must include | ||||||
16 | his or her residence
address. These forms of identification |
| |||||||

| ||||||
3 | identification card, utility bill, employee or student | ||||||
4 | identification card,
lease or contract for a residence, credit | ||||||
5 | card, or a civic, union or professional association membership | ||||||
6 | card.
The registration officer shall require a homeless | ||||||
7 | individual to furnish
evidence of his or her use of the mailing | ||||||
8 | address stated. This use may be
demonstrated by a piece of mail | ||||||
9 | addressed to that individual and received at
that address or by | ||||||

| ||||||
11 | address. The registration officer shall require each applicant | ||||||
12 | for
registration to read or have read to him the affidavit of | ||||||
13 | registration
before permitting him to execute the affidavit.
| ||||||
14 | One of the registration officers or a deputy registration | ||||||
15 | officer,
county clerk, or clerk in the office of the county | ||||||
16 | clerk, shall
administer to all persons who shall personally | ||||||
17 | apply to register the
following oath or affirmation:

answer all such questions as shall be put to you touching | ||||||
20 | your name,
place of residence, place of birth, your | ||||||
21 | qualifications as an elector
and your right as such to register | ||||||
22 | and vote under the laws of the State
of Illinois."
| ||||||
23 | The registration officer shall satisfy himself that each | ||||||
24 | applicant
for registration is qualified to register before | ||||||
25 | registering him. If the
registration officer has reason to | ||||||
26 | believe that the applicant is a resident
of a Soldiers' and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Sailors' Home or any facility which is licensed or certified
| ||||||
2 | pursuant to the Nursing Home Care Act, the following question | ||||||

5 | thereof?" Any voter of a township, city,
village or | ||||||
6 | incorporated town in which such applicant resides, shall be
| ||||||
7 | permitted to be present at the place of any precinct | ||||||
8 | registration and shall
have the right to challenge any | ||||||
9 | applicant who applies to be registered.
| ||||||
10 | In case the officer is not satisfied that the applicant is | ||||||
11 | qualified
he shall forthwith notify such applicant in writing | ||||||
12 | to appear before the
county clerk to complete his registration. | ||||||
13 | Upon the card of such
applicant shall be written the word | ||||||
14 | "incomplete" and no such applicant
shall be permitted to vote | ||||||
15 | unless such registration is satisfactorily
completed as | ||||||
16 | hereinafter provided. No registration shall be taken and
marked | ||||||
17 | as incomplete if information to complete it can be furnished on

whose registration card is marked "Incomplete" may | ||||||
21 | make and sign an
application in writing, under oath, to the | ||||||
22 | county clerk in substance in

25 | of the township of
.... (or to the county clerk of .... county) | ||||||
26 | and that said board or clerk
refused to complete my |

| ||||||
13 | Sec. 18-5. Any person desiring to vote and whose name is | ||||||
14 | found upon
the register of voters by the person having charge | ||||||
15 | thereof, shall then
be questioned by one of the judges as to | ||||||
16 | his nativity, his term of
residence at present address, | ||||||
17 | precinct, State and United States, his
age, whether naturalized | ||||||
18 | and if so the date of naturalization papers and
court from | ||||||
19 | which secured, and he shall be asked to state his residence
| ||||||
20 | when last previously registered and the date of the election | ||||||
21 | for which
he then registered. The judges of elections shall | ||||||
22 | check each application
for ballot against the list of voters | ||||||
23 | registered in that precinct to whom
grace period, absentee, and | ||||||
24 | early ballots have been issued for that election, which shall
| ||||||
25 | be provided
by the election authority and which list shall be |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | available for inspection
by pollwatchers. A voter applying to | ||||||
2 | vote in
the precinct on
election day whose name appears on the | ||||||
3 | list as having been issued a grace period, absentee,
or early | ||||||
4 | ballot shall not be permitted to vote in the precinct, except | ||||||
5 | that a voter to whom an absentee ballot was issued may vote in | ||||||
6 | the precinct if the voter submits to the election judges that | ||||||
7 | absentee ballot for cancellation. If the voter is unable to | ||||||
8 | submit the absentee ballot, it shall be sufficient for the | ||||||
9 | voter to submit to the election judges (i) a portion of the | ||||||
10 | absentee ballot if the absentee ballot was torn or mutilated or | ||||||
11 | (ii) an affidavit executed before the election judges | ||||||
12 | specifying that (A) the voter never received an absentee ballot | ||||||
13 | or (B) the voter completed and returned an absentee ballot and | ||||||
14 | was informed that the election authority did not receive that | ||||||
15 | absentee ballot.
If such person
so registered shall be | ||||||
16 | challenged as disqualified, the party challenging
shall assign | ||||||
17 | his reasons therefor, and thereupon one of the judges shall
| ||||||
18 | administer to him an oath to answer questions, and if he shall | ||||||
19 | take the
oath he shall then be questioned by the judge or | ||||||
20 | judges touching such cause
of challenge, and touching any other | ||||||
21 | cause of disqualification. And he may
also be questioned by the | ||||||
22 | person challenging him in regard to his
qualifications and | ||||||
23 | identity. But if a majority of the judges are of the
opinion | ||||||
24 | that he is the person so registered and a qualified voter, his | ||||||
25 | vote
shall then be received accordingly. But if his vote be | ||||||
26 | rejected by such
judges, such person may afterward produce and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | deliver an affidavit to such
judges, subscribed and sworn to by | ||||||
2 | him before one of the judges, in which
it shall be stated how | ||||||
3 | long he has resided in such precinct, and state;
that he is a | ||||||
4 | citizen of the United States, and is a duly qualified voter in
| ||||||
5 | such precinct, and that he is the identical person so | ||||||
6 | registered.
In addition to such an affidavit, the person so | ||||||
7 | challenged shall provide
to the judges of election proof of | ||||||
8 | residence by producing 2 forms of
identification showing the | ||||||
9 | person's current residence address, provided
that such | ||||||
10 | identification may include a lease or contract for a residence | ||||||
11 | and not more than one piece of mail addressed to the person at | ||||||
12 | his current residence address and
postmarked not earlier than | ||||||
13 | 30 days prior to the date of the
election, or the person shall | ||||||
14 | procure a witness personally known to the
judges of election, | ||||||
15 | and resident in the precinct (or district), or who
shall be | ||||||
16 | proved by some legal voter of such precinct or district, known | ||||||
17 | to
the judges to be such, who shall take the oath following, | ||||||
18 | viz:
| ||||||
19 | I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I am a resident of | ||||||
20 | this election
precinct (or district), and entitled to vote at | ||||||
21 | this election, and that I
have been a resident of this State | ||||||
22 | for 30 days last past, and am well
acquainted with the person | ||||||
23 | whose vote is now offered; that he is an actual
and bona fide | ||||||
24 | resident of this election precinct (or district), and has
| ||||||
25 | resided herein 30 days, and as I verily believe, in this State, | ||||||
26 | 30 days
next preceding this election.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | The oath in each case may be administered by one of the | ||||||
2 | judges of
election, or by any officer, resident in the precinct | ||||||
3 | or district,
authorized by law to administer oaths. Also | ||||||
4 | supported by an affidavit by a
registered voter residing in | ||||||
5 | such precinct, stating his own residence, and
that he knows | ||||||
6 | such person; and that he does reside at the place mentioned
and | ||||||
7 | has resided in such precinct and state for the length of time | ||||||
8 | as stated
by such person, which shall be subscribed and sworn | ||||||
9 | to in the same way.
For purposes of this Section, the | ||||||
10 | submission of a photo identification issued by a college or | ||||||
11 | university, accompanied by either (i) a copy of the applicant's | ||||||
12 | contract or lease for a residence or (ii) one piece of mail | ||||||
13 | addressed to the person at his or her current residence address | ||||||
14 | and postmarked not earlier than 30 days prior to the date of | ||||||
15 | the election, shall be sufficient to establish proof of | ||||||
16 | residence. Whereupon the vote of such person shall be received, | ||||||
17 | and entered as other
votes. But such judges, having charge of | ||||||
18 | such registers, shall state in
their respective books the facts | ||||||
19 | in such case, and the affidavits, so
delivered to the judges, | ||||||
20 | shall be preserved and returned to the office of
the | ||||||
21 | commissioners of election. Blank affidavits of the character | ||||||
22 | aforesaid
shall be sent out to the judges of all the precincts, | ||||||
23 | and the judges of
election shall furnish the same on demand and | ||||||
24 | administer the oaths without
criticism. Such oaths, if | ||||||
25 | administered by any other officer than such judge
of election, | ||||||
26 | shall not be received. Whenever a proposal for a
constitutional |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | amendment or for the calling of a constitutional convention
is | ||||||
2 | to be voted upon at the election, the separate blue ballot or | ||||||
3 | ballots
pertaining thereto shall be placed on top of the other | ||||||
4 | ballots to be voted
at the election in such manner that the | ||||||
5 | legend appearing on the back
thereof, as prescribed in Section | ||||||
6 | 16-6 of this Act, shall be plainly
visible to the voter, and in | ||||||
7 | this fashion the ballots shall be handed to
the voter by the | ||||||
8 | judge.
| ||||||
9 | Immediately after voting, the voter shall be instructed | ||||||
10 | whether the voting equipment, if used, accepted or rejected the | ||||||
11 | ballot or identified the ballot as under-voted. A voter whose | ||||||
12 | ballot is identified as under-voted for a statewide | ||||||
13 | constitutional office may return to the voting booth and | ||||||
14 | complete the voting of that ballot. A voter whose ballot is not | ||||||
15 | accepted by the voting equipment may, upon surrendering the | ||||||
16 | ballot, request and vote another ballot. The voter's | ||||||
17 | surrendered ballot shall be initialed by the election judge and | ||||||
18 | handled as provided in the appropriate Article governing that | ||||||
19 | voting equipment. | ||||||
20 | The voter shall, upon quitting the voting booth, deliver to | ||||||
21 | one of
the judges of election all of the ballots, properly | ||||||
22 | folded, which he
received. The judge of election to whom the | ||||||
23 | voter delivers his ballots
shall not accept the same unless all | ||||||
24 | of the ballots given to the voter
are returned by him. If a | ||||||
25 | voter delivers less than all of the ballots
given to him, the | ||||||
26 | judge to whom the same are offered shall advise him in
a voice |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | clearly audible to the other judges of election that the voter
| ||||||
2 | must return the remainder of the ballots. The statement of the | ||||||
3 | judge to
the voter shall clearly express the fact that the | ||||||
4 | voter is not required
to vote such remaining ballots but that | ||||||
5 | whether or not he votes them he
must fold and deliver them to | ||||||
6 | the judge. In making such statement the
judge of election shall | ||||||
7 | not indicate by word, gesture or intonation of
voice that the | ||||||
8 | unreturned ballots shall be voted in any particular
manner. No | ||||||
9 | new voter shall be permitted to enter the voting booth of a
| ||||||
10 | voter who has failed to deliver the total number of ballots | ||||||
11 | received by
him until such voter has returned to the voting | ||||||
12 | booth pursuant to the
judge's request and again quit the booth | ||||||
13 | with all of the ballots
required to be returned by him. Upon | ||||||
14 | receipt of all such ballots the
judges of election shall enter | ||||||
15 | the name of the voter, and his number, as
above provided in | ||||||
16 | this Section, and the judge to whom the ballots are
delivered | ||||||
17 | shall immediately put the ballots into the ballot box. If any
| ||||||
18 | voter who has failed to deliver all the ballots received by him | ||||||
19 | refuses
to return to the voting booth after being advised by | ||||||
20 | the judge of
election as herein provided, the judge shall | ||||||
21 | inform the other judges of
such refusal, and thereupon the | ||||||
22 | ballot or ballots returned to the judge
shall be deposited in | ||||||
23 | the ballot box, the voter shall be permitted to
depart from the | ||||||
24 | polling place, and a new voter shall be permitted to
enter the | ||||||
25 | voting booth.
| ||||||
26 | The judge of election who receives the ballot or ballots |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | from the
voter shall announce the residence and name of such | ||||||
2 | voter in a loud
voice. The judge shall put the ballot or | ||||||
3 | ballots received from the voter
into the ballot box in the | ||||||
4 | presence of the voter and the judges of
election, and in plain | ||||||
5 | view of the public. The judges having charge of
such registers | ||||||
6 | shall then, in a column prepared thereon, in the same
line of, | ||||||
7 | the name of the voter, mark "Voted" or the letter "V".
| ||||||
8 | No judge of election shall accept from any voter less than | ||||||
9 | the full
number of ballots received by such voter without first | ||||||
10 | advising the
voter in the manner above provided of the | ||||||
11 | necessity of returning all of
the ballots, nor shall any such | ||||||
12 | judge advise such voter in a manner
contrary to that which is | ||||||
13 | herein permitted, or in any other manner
violate the provisions | ||||||
14 | of this Section; provided, that the acceptance by
a judge of | ||||||
15 | election of less than the full number of ballots delivered to
a | ||||||
16 | voter who refuses to return to the voting booth after being | ||||||
17 | properly
advised by such judge shall not be a violation of this | ||||||
18 | Section.

the close of the early | ||||||
5 | voting period to the county clerk and must strictly
account for | ||||||
6 | all ballots received. The ballots delivered to the election

authority's jurisdiction and must include separate | ||||||

election.
| ||||||
11 | (b) In conducting early voting under this Article, the | ||||||
12 | election judge or official is
required to verify the signature | ||||||

of the applicant, (ii) that the | ||||||
16 | applicant is a registered voter, (iii) the
precinct in which | ||||||
17 | the applicant is registered, and (iv) the proper ballots of
the | ||||||
18 | political subdivision in which the applicant resides and is | ||||||
19 | entitled to
vote before providing an early ballot to the | ||||||
20 | applicant.
The applicant's identity must be verified by the | ||||||
21 | applicant's presentation of an Illinois driver's license, a | ||||||
22 | non-driver identification card issued by the Illinois | ||||||
23 | Secretary of State, a photo identification card issued by a | ||||||
24 | university or college, or another government-issued | ||||||
25 | identification document containing the applicant's photograph. | ||||||
26 | The election judge or official
must verify the applicant's |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | registration from the most recent poll list
provided by the
| ||||||
2 | election authority, and if the applicant is not listed on that | ||||||
3 | poll list, by
telephoning the office of the election authority.
| ||||||
4 | (b-5) A person requesting an early voting ballot to whom an | ||||||
5 | absentee ballot was issued may vote early if the person submits | ||||||
6 | that absentee ballot to the judges of election or official | ||||||
7 | conducting early voting for cancellation. If the voter is | ||||||
8 | unable to submit the absentee ballot, it shall be sufficient | ||||||
9 | for the voter to submit to the judges or official (i) a portion | ||||||
10 | of the absentee ballot if the absentee ballot was torn or | ||||||
11 | mutilated or (ii) an affidavit executed before the judges or | ||||||
12 | official specifying that (A) the voter never received an | ||||||
13 | absentee ballot or (B) the voter completed and returned an | ||||||
14 | absentee ballot and was informed that the election authority | ||||||
15 | did not receive that absentee ballot. | ||||||
16 | (b-10) Within one day after a voter casts an early voting | ||||||
17 | ballot, the election authority shall transmit the voter's name, | ||||||
18 | street address, and precinct, ward, township, and district | ||||||
19 | numbers, as the case may be, to the State Board of Elections, | ||||||
20 | which shall maintain those names and that information in an | ||||||
21 | electronic format on its website, arranged by county and | ||||||
22 | accessible to State and local political committees. | ||||||
23 | (b-15) Immediately after voting an early ballot, the voter | ||||||
24 | shall be instructed whether the voting equipment accepted or | ||||||
25 | rejected the ballot or identified that ballot as under-voted | ||||||
26 | for a statewide constitutional office. A voter whose ballot is |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | identified as under-voted may return to the voting booth and | ||||||
2 | complete the voting of that ballot. A voter whose early voting | ||||||
3 | ballot is not accepted by the voting equipment may, upon | ||||||
4 | surrendering the ballot, request and vote another early voting | ||||||
5 | ballot. The voter's surrendered ballot
shall be initialed by | ||||||
6 | the election judge or official conducting the early voting and | ||||||
7 | handled as provided in the appropriate
Article governing the | ||||||
8 | voting equipment used.
| ||||||
9 | (c) The sealed early ballots in their carrier envelope | ||||||
10 | shall be delivered by
the election authority to the central | ||||||
11 | ballot counting location before the close of the
polls on the | ||||||
12 | day of the election.
