conspicuous, open and | 3 | | public place accessible to the public at the entrance of

statement informing the applicant that if | 11 | | he or she falsifies or is
solicited by another to falsify his | 12 | | or her
eligibility to cast a vote by mail ballot, such | 13 | | applicant or other is subject
to
penalties pursuant to Section | 14 | | 29-10 and Section 29-20 of the Election Code.
Each election | 15 | | authority shall maintain a list of the name, street address,
| 16 | | ward and

the | 23 | | list. The list, the pages of which are to be numbered | 24 | | consecutively,

temporarily | 15 | | abide. Immediately after the close of the period during which
| 16 | | application may be made by mail or electronic means for vote by | 17 | | mail ballots, each election
authority shall mail to each other | 18 | | election authority within the State a
certified list of all | 19 | | such voters temporarily abiding within the

application was made. The election authority shall | 9 | | by mail notify the
applicant in such facility that the ballot | 10 | | will be delivered by a judge of
election on the designated day.

of the election authority for public | 13 | | inspection upon request from the
time of receipt thereof by | 14 | | the election authority until 30 days after the
election, | 15 | | except during the time such applications are kept in the
| 16 | | office of the election authority pursuant to Section 19-7, and | 17 | | except during
the time such applications are in the possession | 18 | | of the judges of election.
| 19 | | Notwithstanding any provision of this Section to the | 20 | | contrary, pursuant to subsection (a) of Section 30 of the | 21 | | Address Confidentiality for Victims of Domestic Violence, | 22 | | Sexual Assault, Human Trafficking, or Stalking Act, neither | 23 | | the name nor the address of a program participant under that | 24 | | Act shall be included in any list of registered voters | 25 | | available to the public, including the lists referenced in | 26 | | this Section. |

| 3 | | Sec. 19-8. Time and place of counting ballots. | 4 | | (a) (Blank.) | 5 | | (b) Each vote by mail voter's ballot returned to an | 6 | | election authority, by any means authorized by this Article, | 7 | | and received by that election authority before the closing of | 8 | | the polls on election day shall be endorsed by the receiving | 9 | | election authority with the day and hour of receipt and may be | 10 | | processed by the election authority beginning on the day it is | 11 | | received by the election authority in the central ballot | 12 | | counting location of the election authority, but the results | 13 | | of the processing may not be counted until the day of the | 14 | | election after 7:00 p.m., except as provided in subsections | 15 | | (g) and (g-5).
| 16 | | (c) Each vote by mail voter's ballot that is mailed to an | 17 | | election authority and postmarked no later than election day, | 18 | | but that is received by the election authority after the polls | 19 | | close on election day and before the close of the period for | 20 | | counting provisional ballots cast at that election, shall be | 21 | | endorsed by the receiving authority with the day and hour of | 22 | | receipt and shall be counted at the central ballot counting | 23 | | location of the election authority during the period for | 24 | | counting provisional ballots. | 25 | | Each vote by mail voter's ballot that is mailed to an |

|
| 1 | | election authority absent a postmark or a barcode usable with | 2 | | an intelligent mail barcode tracking system, but that is | 3 | | received by the election authority after the polls close on | 4 | | election day and before the close of the period for counting | 5 | | provisional ballots cast at that election, shall be endorsed | 6 | | by the receiving authority with the day and hour of receipt, | 7 | | opened to inspect the date inserted on the certification, and, | 8 | | if the certification date is election day or earlier and the | 9 | | ballot is otherwise found to be valid under the requirements | 10 | | of this Section, counted at the central ballot counting | 11 | | location of the election authority during the period for | 12 | | counting provisional ballots. Absent a date on the | 13 | | certification, the ballot shall not be counted.
| 14 | | If an election authority is using an intelligent mail | 15 | | barcode tracking system, a ballot that is mailed to an | 16 | | election authority absent a postmark may be counted if the | 17 | | intelligent mail barcode tracking system verifies the envelope | 18 | | was mailed no later than election day. | 19 | | (d) Special write-in vote by mail voter's blank ballots | 20 | | returned to an election authority, by any means authorized by | 21 | | this Article, and received by the election authority at any | 22 | | time before the closing of the polls on election day shall be | 23 | | endorsed by the receiving election authority with the day and | 24 | | hour of receipt and shall be counted at the central ballot | 25 | | counting location of the election authority during the same | 26 | | period provided for counting vote by mail voters' ballots |

| 1 | | under subsections (b), (g), and (g-5).

| 22 | | (f) Counting required under this Section to begin on | 23 | | election day after the closing of the polls shall commence no | 24 | | later than 8:00 p.m. and shall be conducted

|
| 1 | | voters' ballots and special write-in vote by mail voter's | 2 | | blank ballots required to be counted on election day have been | 3 | | counted.
| 4 | | (g) The procedures set forth in Articles 17 and
18 of this | 5 | | Code shall apply to all ballots counted under
this Section. In | 6 | | addition, within 2 days after a vote by mail ballot is | 7 | | received, but in all cases before the close of the period for | 8 | | counting provisional ballots, the election judge or official | 9 | | shall compare the voter's signature on the certification | 10 | | envelope of that vote by mail ballot with the voter's | 11 | | signature on the application verified in accordance with | 12 | | Section 19-4 or the signature of the voter on file in the | 13 | | office of the election authority. If the election judge or | 14 | | official determines that the 2 signatures match, and that the | 15 | | vote by mail voter is otherwise qualified to cast a vote by | 16 | | mail ballot, the election authority shall cast and count the | 17 | | ballot on election day or the day the ballot is determined to | 18 | | be valid, whichever is later, adding the results to the | 19 | | precinct in which the voter is registered. If the election | 20 | | judge or official determines that the signatures do not match, | 21 | | or that the vote by mail voter is not qualified to cast a vote | 22 | | by mail ballot, then without opening the certification | 23 | | envelope, the judge or official shall mark across the face of | 24 | | the certification envelope the word "Rejected" and shall not | 25 | | cast or count the ballot. | 26 | | In addition to the voter's signatures not matching, a vote |
| | | HB0045 Enrolled | - 10 - | LRB102 03834 RJF 13848 b |
|
| 1 | | by mail ballot may be rejected by the election judge or | 2 | | official: | 3 | | (1) if the ballot envelope is open or has been opened | 4 | | and resealed; | 5 | | (2) if the voter has already cast an early or grace | 6 | | period ballot; | 7 | | (3) if the voter voted in person on election day or the | 8 | | voter is not a duly registered voter in the precinct; or | 9 | | (4) on any other basis set forth in this Code. | 10 | | If the election judge or official determines that any of | 11 | | these reasons apply, the judge or official shall mark across | 12 | | the face of the certification envelope the word "Rejected" and | 13 | | shall not cast or count the ballot.
| 14 | | (g-5) If a vote by mail ballot is rejected by the election | 15 | | judge or official for any reason, the election authority | 16 | | shall, within 2 days after the rejection but in all cases | 17 | | before the close of the period for counting provisional | 18 | | ballots, notify the vote by mail voter that his or her ballot | 19 | | was rejected. The notice shall inform the voter of the reason | 20 | | or reasons the ballot was rejected and shall state that the | 21 | | voter may appear before the election authority, on or before | 22 | | the 14th day after the election, to show cause as to why the | 23 | | ballot should not be rejected. The voter may present evidence | 24 | | to the election authority supporting his or her contention | 25 | | that the ballot should be counted. The election authority | 26 | | shall appoint a panel of 3 election judges to review the |
| | | HB0045 Enrolled | - 11 - | LRB102 03834 RJF 13848 b |
|
| 1 | | contested ballot, application, and certification envelope, as | 2 | | well as any evidence submitted by the vote by mail voter. No | 3 | | more than 2 election judges on the reviewing panel shall be of | 4 | | the same political party. The reviewing panel of election | 5 | | judges shall make a final determination as to the validity of | 6 | | the contested vote by mail ballot. The judges' determination | 7 | | shall not be reviewable either administratively or judicially. | 8 | | A vote by mail ballot subject to this subsection that is | 9 | | determined to be valid shall be counted before the close of the | 10 | | period for counting provisional ballots.
| 11 | | (g-10) All vote by mail ballots determined to be valid | 12 | | shall be added to the vote totals for the precincts for which | 13 | | they were cast in the order in which the ballots were opened.
| 14 | | (h) Each political party, candidate, and qualified civic | 15 | | organization shall be entitled to have present one pollwatcher | 16 | | for each panel of election judges therein assigned.

| 18 | | (10 ILCS 5/19-10) (from Ch. 46, par. 19-10)
| 19 | | Sec. 19-10. Pollwatchers may be appointed to observe early
| 20 | | voting procedures and view all reasonably requested records | 21 | | relating to the conduct of the election, provided the secrecy | 22 | | of the ballot is not impinged, at the office of the election | 23 | | authority as well as at
municipal, township or road district | 24 | | clerks' offices where such early
voting is conducted. Such | 25 | | pollwatchers shall qualify and be appointed in
the same manner |
| | | HB0045 Enrolled | - 12 - | LRB102 03834 RJF 13848 b |
|
| 1 | | as provided in Sections 7-34 and 17-23, except each
candidate, | 2 | | political party or organization of citizens may appoint only | 3 | | one
pollwatcher for each location where early voting is | 4 | | conducted.
Pollwatchers must be registered to vote in Illinois | 5 | | and possess valid
pollwatcher credentials.
| 6 | | Where certain vote by mail voters' ballots are processed | 7 | | or counted on the day of the election
in the office of the | 8 | | election authority as provided in Section 19-8 of this
Act, | 9 | | each political party, candidate and qualified civic | 10 | | organization shall
be entitled to have present one pollwatcher | 11 | | for each panel of election judges
therein assigned. Such | 12 | | pollwatchers shall be subject to the same provisions
as are | 13 | | provided for pollwatchers in Sections 7-34 and 17-23 of this | 14 | | Code,
and shall be permitted to observe the election judges | 15 | | making the signature
comparison as provided in Section 19-8 | 16 | | between that which is on the ballot envelope and that which is
| 17 | | on the permanent voter registration record card taken from the | 18 | | master file .

| 20 | | Article 10. | 21 | | Section 10-1. Legislative Intent. | 22 | | (a) It is the intent of the General Assembly for this | 23 | | Article to make changes to the Judicial Circuits Districting | 24 | | Act of 2022 and the Circuit Courts Act to effectuate the intent |
| | | HB0045 Enrolled | - 13 - | LRB102 03834 RJF 13848 b |
|
| 1 | | of Public Act 102-693 by correcting drafting errors and making | 2 | | clarifications, while converting the remaining at-large | 3 | | judgeships in the 6th and 17th judicial circuits to resident | 4 | | judgeships similar to other circuits, including, but not | 5 | | limited to, the 3rd and 19th judicial circuits. | 6 | | (b) This Article corrects a drafting error in Public Act | 7 | | 102-693 that included Lake County precincts in subcircuit 1 of | 8 | | the 22nd Circuit. Lake County is not in the 22nd Circuit. The | 9 | | inclusion of those precincts was inadvertent. | 10 | | (c) This Article also clarifies that, in accordance with | 11 | | the Illinois Constitution of 1970, no change in the boundaries | 12 | | shall affect an incumbent judge's qualification for office or | 13 | | right to run for retention. Incumbent circuit judges have the | 14 | | right to run for retention in the circuit. Nothing in Public | 15 | | Act 102-693 or this Article is intended to affect the tenure of | 16 | | any circuit judge elected or appointed or limit retention | 17 | | elections to an area less than the whole circuit as provided | 18 | | for by the Constitution. | 19 | | Section 10-5. The Judicial Circuits Districting Act of | 20 | | 2022 is amended by changing Section 45 as follows: | 21 | | (705 ILCS 24/45)
| 22 | | Sec. 45. 22nd Judicial Circuit. On and after December 2, | 23 | | 2024, the 22nd Judicial Circuit is divided into 4 subcircuits | 24 | | as follows:

| 1 | | (d) As soon as practicable after the subcircuits are | 2 | | created by law, the
Supreme Court shall determine by lot a | 3 | | numerical order for the 15
subcircuits. That numerical order | 4 | | shall be the basis for the order in which resident
judgeships | 5 | | are assigned to the subcircuits. After the first round of
| 6 | | assignments, the second and all later rounds shall be based on | 7 | | the same
numerical order. Once a resident judgeship is | 8 | | assigned to a subcircuit,
it shall continue to be assigned to | 9 | | that subcircuit for all purposes ; provided that a resident | 10 | | judge elected from a subcircuit seeking retention shall run | 11 | | for retention at large in the circuit in accordance with | 12 | | Article VI, Section 12(d) of the Illinois Constitution.

Any vacancies in formerly associate | 6 | | judgeships converted to resident circuit judgeships in the | 7 | | Circuit of Cook County occurring on or after June 1, 2023 shall | 8 | | be allotted in numerical order to Judicial Subcircuits 16, 17, | 9 | | 18, 19, and 20 until there are 11 resident judges to be elected | 10 | | from each of those subcircuits (for a total of 55). The maximum | 11 | | number of formerly associate judgeships converted to resident | 12 | | circuit judgeships which may be allotted to Judicial | 13 | | Subcircuits 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20 in an election cycle shall | 14 | | be 2 judgeships per subcircuit All vacancies in circuit | 15 | | judgeships in the Circuit of Cook County, which are not | 16 | | allotted to Judicial Subcircuits 1 through 15 pursuant to | 17 | | subsection (c) of this Section, existing on or occurring on or | 18 | | after June 1, 2022 shall be allotted in numerical order to | 19 | | Judicial Subcircuits 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 until there are 11 | 20 | | resident judges to be elected from each of those subcircuits | 21 | | (for a total of 55) . | 22 | | (e) A resident judge elected from a subcircuit shall | 23 | | continue to reside
in that subcircuit as long as he or she | 24 | | holds that office. A resident judge elected from a subcircuit | 25 | | after January 1, 2008, must retain residency as a registered | 26 | | voter in the subcircuit to run for retention from the circuit |

| 7 | | (a) Prior to December 5, 2022, the 19th circuit shall be | 8 | | divided into 6 subcircuits. The
subcircuits shall be
compact, | 9 | | contiguous, and substantially equal in population. The General
| 10 | | Assembly by law shall
create the subcircuits, using population
| 11 | | data as
determined by the 2000 federal census, and
shall | 12 | | determine a numerical order for the 6 subcircuits. That
| 13 | | numerical order shall be the basis for the order in which | 14 | | resident judgeships
are assigned to
the subcircuits. The 6 | 15 | | resident judgeships to be assigned that are not added by or | 16 | | converted from at-large judgeships as provided in this | 17 | | amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly shall be assigned | 18 | | to the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th subcircuits, in that | 19 | | order. The 6 resident judgeships to be assigned that are added | 20 | | by or converted from at-large judgeships as provided in this | 21 | | amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly shall be assigned | 22 | | to the 6th, 5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd, and 1st subcircuits, in that | 23 | | order. Once a resident judgeship is assigned to a subcircuit, | 24 | | it
shall continue to be assigned to that subcircuit for all | 25 | | purposes ; provided that a resident judge elected from a |

| 1 | | subcircuit seeking retention shall run for retention at large | 2 | | in the circuit in accordance with Article VI, Section 12(d) of | 3 | | the Illinois Constitution .
| 4 | | (a-3) On and after December 5, 2022, the 19th circuit is | 5 | | divided into 12 subcircuits. Beginning in 2031, the General | 6 | | Assembly shall, in the year following each federal decennial | 7 | | census, redraw the boundaries of the subcircuits to reflect | 8 | | the results of the most recent federal decennial census. In | 9 | | 2022, the General Assembly shall redraw the boundaries of the | 10 | | subcircuits to reflect the results of the 2020 federal | 11 | | decennial census and divide the 19th circuit into at least 10 | 12 | | subcircuits. The General Assembly shall redraw the subcircuit | 13 | | boundaries after every federal decennial census. The | 14 | | subcircuits shall be compact, contiguous, and substantially | 15 | | equal in population. Once a judgeship is assigned to a | 16 | | subcircuit or an at-large judgeship is converted to a resident | 17 | | judgeship and assigned to a subcircuit, it shall be assigned | 18 | | to that subcircuit for all purposes ; provided that a resident | 19 | | judge elected from a subcircuit seeking retention shall run | 20 | | for retention at large in the circuit in accordance with | 21 | | Article VI, Section 12(d) of the Illinois Constitution . Any | 22 | | vacancy in a resident judgeship existing on or occurring after | 23 | | the effective date of a law redrawing the boundaries of the | 24 | | subcircuits shall be filled by election by a resident of the | 25 | | redrawn subcircuit. When a vacancy occurs in a resident | 26 | | judgeship, the resident judgeship shall be allotted by the |
| | | HB0045 Enrolled | - 34 - | LRB102 03834 RJF 13848 b |
|
| 1 | | Supreme Court under subsection (c) and filled by election. | 2 | | (a-5) Of the at-large judgeships of the 19th judicial | 3 | | circuit, the first 3 that are or become vacant on or after the | 4 | | effective date of this amendatory Act of the 96th General | 5 | | Assembly shall become resident judgeships of the 19th judicial | 6 | | circuit to be allotted by the Supreme Court under subsection | 7 | | (c) and filled by election, except that the Supreme Court may | 8 | | fill those judgeships by appointment for any remainder of a | 9 | | vacated term until the resident judgeships are filled | 10 | | initially by election. As used in this subsection, a vacancy | 11 | | does not include the expiration of a term of an at-large judge | 12 | | who seeks retention in that office at the next term. | 13 | | (a-10) The 19th judicial circuit shall have 3 additional | 14 | | resident judgeships to be allotted by the Supreme Court under | 15 | | subsection (c). One of the additional resident judgeships | 16 | | shall be filled by election beginning at the 2010 general | 17 | | election. Two of the additional resident judgeships shall be | 18 | | filled by election beginning at the 2012 general election. | 19 | | (a-15) On and after January 7, 2022, each at-large | 20 | | judgeship of the 19th judicial circuit existing on January 7, | 21 | | 2022 shall be converted to a resident judgeship as it is or | 22 | | becomes vacant and shall be allotted by the Supreme Court | 23 | | according to subsection (c) of this Section. It is the intent | 24 | | of the General Assembly not to create any additional | 25 | | judgeships in the 19th judicial circuit by this amendatory Act | 26 | | of the 102nd General Assembly. Notwithstanding any other |

|
| 1 | | provision of law to the contrary, the conversion of at-large | 2 | | judgeships to resident judgeships under this subsection shall | 3 | | not entitle the 19th judicial circuit to any additional | 4 | | circuit judgeships elected at-large The 19th judicial circuit | 5 | | shall have additional resident judgeships as provided by | 6 | | subsection (a-3) to be allotted by the Supreme Court under | 7 | | subsection (c).
