|
12 | | withdraw as a candidate for all but one of such offices |
13 | | within such time
his name shall not be certified, nor |
14 | | printed on the primary ballot, for any
office. For the |

20 | | thereof, where the nomination of such
party for every |
21 | | office to be voted upon by the electors of such
township, |

24 | | as to one or
more, but not all, of the offices to be voted |
25 | | upon by the electors of a
township, municipality, or ward |

such political party for said |
17 | | office is uncontested. For the purposes of
this Article, |

19 | | candidate for election to said office shall be deemed to |
20 | | be uncontested
where not more than the number of persons |
21 | | to be nominated have timely filed
valid nomination papers |
22 | | seeking the nomination of such established party
for |
23 | | election to said office. This subsection (b) shall not |

Elections or the local |
7 | | election official with whom nomination papers for
such |
8 | | office are filed, a primary ballot shall be prepared and a |
9 | | primary

10 | | notice shall be filed on
or before the date established in |
11 | | this Article for certifying candidates
for the primary |
12 | | ballot. Such statement or notice shall contain (i) the
|

the |
17 | | person intends to become a write-in candidate for the |
18 | | party's
nomination, and (iv) the office the person is |

and prepare a |
21 | | primary ballot for any office for which the nomination is
|
22 | | uncontested unless a statement or notice meeting the |
23 | | requirements of this
Section is filed in a timely manner.

24 | | (11) If multiple sets of nomination papers are filed |
25 | | for a candidate to
the same office, the State Board of |

petitions filed |
10 | | shall be the only petitions to be considered valid by the
|
11 | | State Board of Elections, election authority or local |
12 | | election official. If
the candidate fails to notify the |
13 | | State Board of Elections, election authority
or local
|
14 | | election official then only the first set of petitions |
15 | | filed shall be valid
and all subsequent petitions shall be |
16 | | void.

|
17 | | Sec. 9-13. Audits of political committees. |
18 | | (a) The Board shall have the authority to order a |
19 | | political committee to conduct an audit of the financial |
20 | | records required to be maintained by the committee to ensure |
21 | | compliance with Sections 9-8.5 and 9-10. Audits ordered by the |
22 | | Board shall be conducted as provided in this Section and as |
23 | | provided by Board rule. |
24 | | (b) The Board may order a political committee to conduct |
25 | | an audit of its financial records for any of the following |
|
| | 10200SB0825ham001 | - 87 - | LRB102 04623 SMS 27350 a |
|
|
1 | | reasons: (i) a discrepancy between the ending balance of a |
2 | | reporting period and the beginning balance of the next |
3 | | reporting period, (ii) failure to account for previously |
4 | | reported investments or loans, or (iii) a discrepancy between |
5 | | reporting contributions received by or expenditures made for a |
6 | | political committee that are reported by another political |
7 | | committee, except the Board shall not order an audit pursuant |
8 | | to this item (iii) unless there is a willful pattern of |
9 | | inaccurate reporting or there is a pattern of similar |
10 | | inaccurate reporting involving similar contributions by the |
11 | | same contributor. Prior to ordering an audit, the Board shall |
12 | | afford the political committee due notice and an opportunity |
13 | | for a closed preliminary hearing. A political committee shall |
14 | | hire an entity qualified to perform an audit; except, a |
15 | | political committee shall not hire a person that has |
16 | | contributed to the political committee during the previous 4 |
17 | | years. |
18 | | (c) In each calendar year, the Board shall randomly select |
19 | | order no more than 3% of registered political committees to |
20 | | conduct an audit. The Board shall establish a standard, |
21 | | scientific method of selecting the political committees that |
22 | | are to be audited so that every political committee has an |
23 | | equal mathematical chance of being selected. A political |
24 | | committee selected to conduct an audit through the random |
25 | | selection process shall only be required to conduct the audit |
26 | | if it was required to file at least one quarterly report during |
|
| | 10200SB0825ham001 | - 88 - | LRB102 04623 SMS 27350 a |
|
|
1 | | the period to be covered by the audit and has: (i) a fund |
2 | | balance of $10,000 or more as of the close of the most recent |
3 | | reporting period; (ii) an average closing fund balance of |
4 | | $10,000 or more on quarterly reports occurring during the |
5 | | 2-year period to be covered by the audit; or (iii) average |
6 | | total receipts of $10,000 or more on quarterly reports |
7 | | occurring during the 2-year period to be covered by the audit. |
8 | | Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection, a |
9 | | political committee owing unpaid fines at the time of its |
10 | | random selection shall be ordered to conduct an audit. The |
11 | | Board shall not select additional registered political |
12 | | committees to conduct an audit to replace any of the |
13 | | originally selected political committees. |
14 | | (d) Upon receipt of notification from the Board ordering |
15 | | an audit, a political committee shall conduct an audit of the |
16 | | financial records required to be maintained by the committee |
17 | | to ensure compliance with the contribution limitations |
18 | | established in Section 9-8.5 and the reporting requirements |
19 | | established in Section 9-3 and Section 9-10 for a period of 2 |
20 | | years from the close of the most recent reporting period or the |
21 | | period since the committee was previously ordered to conduct |
22 | | an audit, whichever is shorter. The entity performing the |
23 | | audit shall review the amount of funds and investments |
24 | | maintained by the political committee and ensure the financial |
25 | | records accurately account for any contributions and |
26 | | expenditures made by the political committee.

|
| | 10200SB0825ham001 | - 89 - | LRB102 04623 SMS 27350 a |

|
1 | | of the audit shall be delivered to the Board within 60 calendar |
2 | | days after receipt of notice from the Board, unless the Board |
3 | | grants an extension to complete the audit. A political |
4 | | committee ordered to conduct an audit through the random |
5 | | selection process shall not be required to conduct another |
6 | | audit for a minimum of 5 years unless the Board has reason to |
7 | | believe the political committee is in violation of Section |
8 | | 9-3, 9-8.5, or 9-10. |
9 | | (e) The Board shall not disclose the name of any political |
10 | | committee ordered to conduct an audit or any documents in |
11 | | possession of the Board related to an audit unless, after |
12 | | review of the audit findings, the Board has reason to believe |
13 | | the political committee is in violation of Section 9-3, 9-8.5, |
14 | | or 9-10 and the Board imposed a fine. |
15 | | (f) Failure to deliver a certified audit in a timely |
16 | | manner is a business offense punishable by a fine of $250 per |
17 | | day that the audit is late, up to a maximum of $5,000.

22 | | candidates or qualify to file declarations to be write-in |
23 | | candidates under Sections 17-16.1 and 18-9.1 when the |
24 | | certification of ballot contains the words "OBJECTION |
25 | | PENDING".
|
26 | | (c) When an electronic voting system is used which uses a |

|
|
1 | | ballot sheet,
the
instructions to voters on the ballot sheet |
2 | | shall refer the voter to the
card of instructions for specific |
3 | | information on write-in voting. Below
each office appearing on |
4 | | such ballot sheet there shall be a provision for
the casting of |
5 | | a write-in vote. Write-in lines equal to the number of |
6 | | candidates for which a voter may vote shall be printed for an |
7 | | office only if one or more persons filed declarations of |
8 | | intent to be write-in candidates or qualify to file |
9 | | declarations to be write-in candidates under Sections 17-16.1 |
10 | | and 18-9.1 when the certification of ballot contains the words |

12 | | (d) When such electronic system is used, there shall be |
13 | | printed on the
back of each ballot card, each ballot card |
14 | | envelope, and
the first page of the ballot label when a ballot |
15 | | label is used, the
words "Official Ballot," followed by the |
16 | | number of the
precinct or other precinct identification, which |
17 | | may be stamped, in lieu
thereof and, as applicable, the number |
18 | | and name of the township, ward
or other election district for |
19 | | which the ballot card, ballot card
envelope, and ballot label |
20 | | are prepared, the date of the election and a
facsimile of the |
21 | | signature of the election authority who has caused the
ballots |
22 | | to be printed. The back of the ballot card shall also include
a |
23 | | method of identifying the ballot configuration such as a |
24 | | listing of the
political subdivisions and districts for which |
25 | | votes may be cast on that
ballot, or a number code identifying |
26 | | the ballot configuration or color coded
ballots, except that |
|
| | 10200SB0825ham001 | - 111 - | LRB102 04623 SMS 27350 a |
|
|
1 | | where there is only one ballot configuration in a
precinct, |
2 | | the precinct identification, and any applicable ward
|
3 | | identification, shall be sufficient. Ballot card envelopes |
4 | | used in punch
card systems shall be of paper through which no |
5 | | writing or punches may be
discerned and shall be of sufficient |
6 | | length to enclose all voting
positions. However, the election |
7 | | authority may provide
ballot card envelopes on which no |
8 | | precinct number or township, ward or
other election district |
9 | | designation, or election date are preprinted, if
space and a |
10 | | preprinted form are provided below the space provided for
the |
11 | | names of write-in candidates where such information may be |
12 | | entered
by the judges of election. Whenever an election |
13 | | authority utilizes
ballot card envelopes on which the election |
14 | | date and precinct is not
preprinted, a judge of election shall |
15 | | mark such information for the
particular precinct and election |
16 | | on the envelope in ink before tallying
and counting any |
17 | | write-in vote written thereon.
If some method of insuring |
18 | | ballot secrecy other than an envelope is used,
such |
19 | | information must be provided on the ballot itself.
|
20 | | (e) In the designation of the name of a candidate on the |
21 | | ballot, the
candidate's given name or names, initial or |
22 | | initials, a nickname by
which the candidate is commonly known, |
23 | | or a combination thereof, may be
used in addition to the |
24 | | candidate's surname. If a candidate has changed his or her |
25 | | name, whether by a statutory or common law procedure in |
26 | | Illinois or any other jurisdiction, within 3 years before the |
|

|
|
1 | | last day for filing the petition for nomination, nomination |
2 | | papers, or certificate of nomination for that office, |
3 | | whichever is applicable, then (i) the candidate's name on the |
4 | | ballot must be followed by "formerly known as (list all prior |
5 | | names during the 3-year period) until name changed on (list |
6 | | date of each such name change)" and (ii) the petition, papers, |
7 | | or certificate must be accompanied by the candidate's |
8 | | affidavit stating the candidate's previous names during the |
9 | | period specified in (i) and the date or dates each of those |
10 | | names was changed; failure to meet these requirements shall be |
11 | | grounds for denying certification of the candidate's name for |
12 | | the ballot or removing the candidate's name from the ballot, |
13 | | as appropriate, but these requirements do not apply to name |
14 | | changes resulting from adoption to assume an adoptive parent's |
15 | | or parents' surname, marriage or civil union to assume a |
16 | | spouse's surname, or dissolution of marriage or civil union or |
17 | | declaration of invalidity of marriage or civil union to assume |
18 | | a former surname or a name change that conforms the |
19 | | candidate's name to his or her gender identity . No other |
20 | | designation such
as a political slogan, title, or degree or |
21 | | nickname suggesting or
implying possession of a
title, degree |
22 | | or professional status, or similar information may be used
in |
23 | | connection with the candidate's surname.
For purposes of this |
24 | | Section, a "political slogan" is defined as any
word or words |
25 | | expressing or connoting a position, opinion, or belief that |
26 | | the
candidate may espouse, including but not limited to, any |
|
| | 10200SB0825ham001 | - 113 - | LRB102 04623 SMS 27350 a |
|
|
1 | | word or words
conveying any meaning other than that of the |
2 | | personal identity of the
candidate. A
candidate may not use a |
3 | | political slogan as part of his or her name on the
