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. 24A-20.

State Board testing of electronic ballot forms using direct
recording electronic voting systems.  The State Board of Elections may test
direct recording electronic
voting systems. Testing by
the State Board of Elections shall include the operation of direct recording
electronic voting systems during a mock voting procedure and during a mock
contested
election in
which
ballots are objected to or recounted.  The State
Board of Elections shall certify to the General Assembly the results of any
tests it
performs under this Section.  Notwithstanding the results of the State Board of
Elections test and its certification to the General Assembly, nothing in this
Section shall authorize the use of a direct recording electronic voting system
unless further authorized by the
General Assembly.
