        Amends the Election  Code.   Provides  for  the  use  of  mail-in      
   ballots  for  the  general  primary  held  in  March  2002 in a county      
   selected by the State Board of Elections. Provides that  the  election      
   authority shall mail ballots to each registered voter not more than 40      
   nor  less  than  5  days before the date of the election.  Establishes      
   procedures for the return of the ballots.  Provides for  the  delivery      
   of  ballots  to  the  judges of election.  Provides for the casting of      
   mail-in ballots.  Provides that the State  Board  of  Elections  shall      
   adopt  rules  and  procedures  for  the  implementation  of the use of      
   mail-in ballots within 270 days  after  the  effective  date  of  this      
   amendatory  Act.   Requires  the  State Board to report to the General      
   Assembly on the problems and successes of conducting the  election  by      
   mail.    Contains  other  provisions. Amends the State Mandates Act to      
   require implementation without reimbursement.  Effective immediately.       
          FISCAL NOTE (State Board of Elections)                               
          HB 1793 would have minimal fiscal impact on the operations of        
          the State Board of Elections. Any implementation costs can be        
          absorbed within the Board's regular operating budget.
