(10 ILCS 5/6-35.01) (from Ch. 46, par. 6-35.01)
Sec. 6-35.01.
If an applicant for registration reports a permanent physical
disability which would require assistance in voting, the board of election
commissioners 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.
