Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 18A-20.

Provisional voting verification system.

In conjunction with
each county clerk or board of election commissioners, the State Board of
Elections shall establish a uniform free access information system by which a
person
casting a provisional ballot may ascertain whether the provisional vote was
counted in the official canvass of votes for that election and, if the vote
was not counted, the reason that the vote was not counted.
Nothing in this Section shall prohibit a county clerk or a board of election
commissioner from establishing a free access information system
described in this Section so long as that system is consistent with the federal
Help America Vote Act.
