        Deletes everything. Amends the Election Code. Authorizes election      
   authorities to use in-precinct automatic  vote  tabulating  equipment.

   equipment unless the voter is  otherwise  entitled  to  assistance  in      
   marking  his  or  her  ballot. Requires that the equipment have voting      
   defect identification capability that returns to the  voter  a  ballot

   or a ballot that cannot be read by the automatic tabulating equipment.      
   Effective immediately.
