(10 ILCS 5/5-30) (from Ch. 46, par. 5-30)
Sec. 5-30.
Upon application to vote at a general primary election each registered
elector shall sign his name or mark and write his address on a certificate
substantially the same as that used in the general election except that it
shall have a place for party affiliation which is to be filled in by the
elector, or by the officer in charge if the elector is unable to write. The
certificates of each State-wide political party at a primary election
shall be separately printed upon paper
of uniform quality, texture and size, but the certificates of no 2 State-wide
political parties shall be of the same color or tint.
However, if the election authority provides computer generated applications
with the precinct, ballot style and voter's name and address preprinted on
the application, a single application may be used for State-wide political
parties if it contains spaces or check-off boxes to indicate the political
party. Such application shall not entitle the voter to vote in the primary
of more than one political party at the same election.
Such applications
may contain spaces or check-off boxes permitting the voter
to request a primary
ballot of any other political party which is established only within a political
subdivision and for which a primary is conducted on the same election day.
Such application shall not entitle the voter to vote in both the primary
of the State-wide political party and the primary of the local political
party with respect to the offices of the same political subdivision. In
no event may a voter vote in more than one State-wide primary on the same
day. Such certificates
when checked and initialed by the Judge in charge shall constitute the
primary poll record. Such certificates at the close of the election shall
be placed in an envelope, sealed and returned with the ballots. Nothing
herein shall be construed to conflict with sections 7-44 and 7-45 of
article 7 of this act. Provided, however, that the applications for ballots
made by registered voters under the provisions of article 19 of this act
shall be accepted by the Judges of election in lieu of the "certificate of
registered voter" provided for in this section.
