(10 ILCS 5/5-7.01) (from Ch. 46, par. 5-7.01)
Sec. 5-7.01.
If an applicant for registration reports a permanent physical
disability which would require assistance in voting, the county clerk shall
mark all his registration cards in the right margin on the front of the
card with a band of ink running the full margin which shall be of contrast
to, and easily distinguishable from, the color of the card. If an applicant
for registration declares upon properly witnessed oath, with his signature
or mark affixed, that he cannot read the English language and that he will
require assistance in voting, all his registration cards shall be marked in
a manner similar to the marking on the cards of a voter who requires
assistance because of physical disability, except that the marking shall be
of a different distinguishing color. Following each election the cards of
any voter who has requested assistance as a voter with a disability, and has stated
that the disability is permanent, or who has received assistance because of
inability to read the English language, shall be marked in the same manner.
