2  submission of a photo identification issued by a college or
3  university, accompanied by either (i) a copy of the
4  applicant's contract or lease for a residence or (ii) one
5  piece of mail addressed to the person at his or her current
6  residence address and postmarked not earlier than 30 days
7  prior to the date of the election, shall be sufficient to
8  establish proof of residence. Whereupon the vote of such
9  person shall be received, and entered as other votes. But such
10  judges, having charge of such registers, shall state in their
11  respective books the facts in such case, and the affidavits,
12  so delivered to the judges, shall be preserved and returned to
13  the office of the commissioners of election. Blank affidavits
14  of the character aforesaid shall be sent out to the judges of
15  all the precincts, and the judges of election shall furnish
16  the same on demand and administer the oaths without criticism.
17  Such oaths, if administered by any other officer than such
18  judge of election, shall not be received. Whenever a proposal
19  for a constitutional amendment or for the calling of a
20  constitutional convention is to be voted upon at the election,
21  the separate blue ballot or ballots pertaining thereto shall
22  be placed on top of the other ballots to be voted at the
23  election in such manner that the legend appearing on the back
24  thereof, as prescribed in Section 16-6 of this Act, shall be
25  plainly visible to the voter, and in this fashion the ballots
26  shall be handed to the voter by the judge.

1  Immediately after voting, the voter shall be instructed
2  whether the voting equipment, if used, accepted or rejected
3  the ballot or identified the ballot as under-voted. A voter
4  whose ballot is identified as under-voted for a statewide
5  constitutional office may return to the voting booth and
6  complete the voting of that ballot. A voter whose ballot is not
7  accepted by the voting equipment may, upon surrendering the
8  ballot, request and vote another ballot. The voter's
9  surrendered ballot shall be initialed by the election judge
10  and handled as provided in the appropriate Article governing
11  that voting equipment.
12  The voter shall, upon quitting the voting booth, deliver
13  to one of the judges of election all of the ballots, properly
14  folded, which he received. The judge of election to whom the
15  voter delivers his ballots shall not accept the same unless
16  all of the ballots given to the voter are returned by him. If a
17  voter delivers less than all of the ballots given to him, the
18  judge to whom the same are offered shall advise him in a voice
19  clearly audible to the other judges of election that the voter
20  must return the remainder of the ballots. The statement of the
21  judge to the voter shall clearly express the fact that the
22  voter is not required to vote such remaining ballots but that
23  whether or not he votes them he must fold and deliver them to
24  the judge. In making such statement the judge of election
25  shall not indicate by word, gesture or intonation of voice
26  that the unreturned ballots shall be voted in any particular

1  manner. No new voter shall be permitted to enter the voting
2  booth of a voter who has failed to deliver the total number of
3  ballots received by him until such voter has returned to the
4  voting booth pursuant to the judge's request and again quit
5  the booth with all of the ballots required to be returned by
6  him. Upon receipt of all such ballots the judges of election
7  shall enter the name of the voter, and his number, as above
8  provided in this Section, and the judge to whom the ballots are
9  delivered shall immediately put the ballots into the ballot
10  box. If any voter who has failed to deliver all the ballots
11  received by him refuses to return to the voting booth after
12  being advised by the judge of election as herein provided, the
13  judge shall inform the other judges of such refusal, and
14  thereupon the ballot or ballots returned to the judge shall be
15  deposited in the ballot box, the voter shall be permitted to
16  depart from the polling place, and a new voter shall be
17  permitted to enter the voting booth.
18  The judge of election who receives the ballot or ballots
19  from the voter shall announce the residence and name of such
20  voter in a loud voice. The judge shall put the ballot or
21  ballots received from the voter into the ballot box in the
22  presence of the voter and the judges of election, and in plain
23  view of the public. The judges having charge of such registers
24  shall then, in a column prepared thereon, in the same line of,

8  registered voter and qualified to vote in the election.
9  However, if the person's residence address is outside the
10  precinct boundaries, the election judge shall inform the
11  person of that fact, give the person the appropriate

1  (b)(2)(iii) and (b)(2)(iv).
2  (4) The election judge shall give a copy of the
3  completed written affidavit to the person. The election
4  judge shall place the original written affidavit in a

6  must be attached to a separate envelope marked as a
7  "provisional ballot envelope". The election judge shall
8  also place any information provided by the person who

10  list envelope. Each county clerk or board of election
11  commissioners, as the case may be, must design, obtain or
12  procure self-adhesive clear plastic packing list envelopes
13  and provisional ballot envelopes that are suitable for
14  implementing this subsection (b)(4) of this Section.
15  (5) The election judge shall provide the person with a
16  provisional ballot, written instructions for casting a
17  provisional ballot, and the provisional ballot envelope
18  with the clear plastic packing list envelope affixed to
19  it, which contains the person's original written affidavit
20  and, if any, information provided by the provisional voter

25  pursuant to guidelines established by the State Board of
26  Elections, whether the provisional vote was counted in the

5  provisional ballot, he or she shall place the marked
6  ballot inside of the provisional ballot envelope, close
7  and seal the envelope, and return the envelope to an
8  election judge, who shall then deposit the sealed
9  provisional ballot envelope into a securable container
10  separately identified and utilized for containing sealed
11  provisional ballot envelopes. Ballots that are provisional
12  because they are cast after 7:00 p.m. by court order shall
13  be kept separate from other provisional ballots. Upon the
14  closing of the polls, the securable container shall be
15  sealed with filament tape provided for that purpose, which
16  shall be wrapped around the box lengthwise and crosswise,
17  at least twice each way, and each of the election judges
18  shall sign the seal.
19  (c) Instead of the affidavit form described in subsection
20  (b), the county clerk or board of election commissioners, as
21  the case may be, may design and use a multi-part affidavit form
22  that is imprinted upon or attached to the provisional ballot
23  envelope described in subsection (b). If a county clerk or

8  described in subsection (b) to update the person's voter
9  registration information in the State voter registration
10  database and voter registration database of the county clerk
11  or board of election commissioners, as the case may be. If a
12  person is later determined not to be a registered voter based
13  on Section 18A-15 of this Code, then the affidavit shall be
14  processed by the county clerk or board of election
15  commissioners, as the case may be, as a voter registration

6  ballot is valid and shall be counted as a vote:
7  (1) the provisional voter cast the provisional ballot
8  in the correct precinct based on the address provided by
9  the provisional voter. The provisional voter's affidavit
10  shall serve as a change of address request by that voter
11  for registration purposes for the next ensuing election if
12  it bears an address different from that in the records of
13  the election authority. Votes for federal and statewide
14  offices on a provisional ballot cast in the incorrect

16  subsection shall be valid and counted in accordance with
17  this Article. As used in this item, "federal office" is
18  defined as provided in Section 20-1 and "statewide office"

22  ballot cast in the incorrect precinct but in the correct
23  legislative district, representative district, county,
24  municipality, or township, as the case may be, shall be
25  valid and counted in accordance with this Article. As used

4  (2) the affidavit executed by the provisional voter
5  pursuant to subsection (b)(2) of Section 18A-5 contains,
6  at a minimum, the provisional voter's first and last name,
7  house number and street name, and signature or mark;
8  (3) except as permitted by item (5) of subsection (b)
9  of this Section, the provisional voter is a registered
10  voter based on information available to the county clerk
11  or board of election commissioners provided by or obtained
12  from any of the following:
13  i. the provisional voter;
14  ii. an election judge;
15  iii. the statewide voter registration database
16  maintained by the State Board of Elections;
17  iv. the records of the county clerk or board of

22  mail ballot in the election at which the provisional
23  ballot was cast; or

1  7 days of election day.
2  (c) With respect to subsection (b)(3) of this Section, the
3  county clerk or board of election commissioners shall
4  investigate and record whether or not the specified
5  information is available from each of the 5 identified
6  sources. If the information is available from one or more of
7  the identified sources, then the county clerk or board of
8  election commissioners shall seek to obtain the information
9  from each of those sources until satisfied, with information
10  from at least one of those sources, that the provisional voter
11  is registered and entitled to vote. The county clerk or board
12  of election commissioners shall use any information it obtains
13  as the basis for determining the voter registration status of
14  the provisional voter. If a conflict exists among the
15  information available to the county clerk or board of election
16  commissioners as to the registration status of the provisional
17  voter, then the county clerk or board of election
18  commissioners shall make a determination based on the totality
19  of the circumstances. In a case where the above information
20  equally supports or opposes the registration status of the
21  voter, the county clerk or board of election commissioners
22  shall decide in favor of the provisional voter as being duly
23  registered to vote. If the statewide voter registration
24  database maintained by the State Board of Elections indicates
25  that the provisional voter is registered to vote, but the
26  county clerk's or board of election commissioners' voter

1  registration database indicates that the provisional voter is
2  not registered to vote, then the information found in the
3  statewide voter registration database shall control the matter
4  and the provisional voter shall be deemed to be registered to
5  vote. If the records of the county clerk or board of election
6  commissioners indicates that the provisional voter is
7  registered to vote, but the statewide voter registration
8  database maintained by the State Board of Elections indicates
9  that the provisional voter is not registered to vote, then the
10  information found in the records of the county clerk or board
11  of election commissioners shall control the matter and the
12  provisional voter shall be deemed to be registered to vote. If
13  the provisional voter's signature on his or her provisional
14  ballot request varies from the signature on an otherwise valid
15  registration application solely because of the substitution of
16  initials for the first or middle name, the election authority
17  may not reject the provisional ballot.
