832	832	16 of the reassigned voters shall be tallied and canvassed as
833	833	17 votes from the precinct of the polling place to which such
834	834	18 voters have been reassigned. The election authority having

1044	1044	15 law prescribing the manner and conditions of voting by
1045	1045	16 unregistered voters. If any person desiring to vote at any
1046	1046	17 election shall be challenged, he or she shall not receive a
1047	1047	18 ballot until he or she shall have established his right to vote
1048	1048	19 in the manner provided hereinafter; and if he or she shall be
1049	1049	20 challenged after he has received his ballot, he shall not be
1050	1050	21 permitted to vote until he or she has fully complied with such
1051	1051	22 requirements of the law upon being challenged. Besides the
1052	1052	23 election officer, not more than 2 voters in excess of the whole

1295	1295	6 list as having been issued a grace period, vote by mail, or
1296	1296	7 early ballot shall not be permitted to vote in the precinct,
1297	1297	8 except that a voter to whom a vote by mail ballot was issued
1298	1298	9 may vote in the precinct if the voter submits to the election
1299	1299	10 judges that vote by mail ballot for cancellation. If the voter
1300	1300	11 is unable to submit the vote by mail ballot, it shall be
1301	1301	12 sufficient for the voter to submit to the election judges (i) a
1302	1302	13 portion of the vote by mail ballot if the vote by mail ballot
1303	1303	14 was torn or mutilated or (ii) an affidavit executed before the
1304	1304	15 election judges specifying that (A) the voter never received a
1305	1305	16 vote by mail ballot or (B) the voter completed and returned a
1306	1306	17 vote by mail ballot and was informed that the election
1307	1307	18 authority did not receive that vote by mail ballot. If such
1308	1308	19 person so registered shall be challenged as disqualified, the
1309	1309	20 party challenging shall assign his reasons therefor, and
1310	1310	21 thereupon one of the judges shall administer to him an oath to
1311	1311	22 answer questions, and if he shall take the oath he shall then
1312	1312	23 be questioned by the judge or judges touching such cause of
1313	1313	24 challenge, and touching any other cause of disqualification.

1328	1328	3 received accordingly. But if his vote be rejected by such
1329	1329	4 judges, such person may afterward produce and deliver an
1330	1330	5 affidavit to such judges, subscribed and sworn to by him

1347	1347	22 viz:
1348	1348	23 I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I am a resident of
1349	1349	24 this election precinct (or district), and entitled to vote at

1363	1363	2 resident of this election precinct (or district), and has
1364	1364	3 resided herein 30 days, and as I verily believe, in this State,
1365	1365	4 30 days next preceding this election.
1366	1366	5 The oath in each case may be administered by one of the
1367	1367	6 judges of election, or by any officer, resident in the
1368	1368	7 precinct or district, authorized by law to administer oaths.
1369	1369	8 Also supported by an affidavit by a registered voter residing

1400	1400	3 Such oaths, if administered by any other officer than such
1401	1401	4 judge of election, shall not be received. Whenever a proposal
1402	1402	5 for a constitutional amendment or for the calling of a
1403	1403	6 constitutional convention is to be voted upon at the election,
1404	1404	7 the separate blue ballot or ballots pertaining thereto shall
1405	1405	8 be placed on top of the other ballots to be voted at the
1406	1406	9 election in such manner that the legend appearing on the back
1407	1407	10 thereof, as prescribed in Section 16-6 of this Act, shall be
1408	1408	11 plainly visible to the voter, and in this fashion the ballots
1409	1409	12 shall be handed to the voter by the judge.
1410	1410	13 Immediately after voting, the voter shall be instructed
1411	1411	14 whether the voting equipment, if used, accepted or rejected
1412	1412	15 the ballot or identified the ballot as under-voted. A voter
1413	1413	16 whose ballot is identified as under-voted for a statewide
1414	1414	17 constitutional office may return to the voting booth and
1415	1415	18 complete the voting of that ballot. A voter whose ballot is not
1416	1416	19 accepted by the voting equipment may, upon surrendering the
1417	1417	20 ballot, request and vote another ballot. The voter's
1418	1418	21 surrendered ballot shall be initialed by the election judge
1419	1419	22 and handled as provided in the appropriate Article governing
1420	1420	23 that voting equipment.
1421	1421	24 The voter shall, upon quitting the voting booth, deliver
1422	1422	25 to one of the judges of election all of the ballots, properly
1423	1423	26 folded, which he received. The judge of election to whom the

1434	1434	1 voter delivers his ballots shall not accept the same unless
1435	1435	2 all of the ballots given to the voter are returned by him. If a
1436	1436	3 voter delivers less than all of the ballots given to him, the
1437	1437	4 judge to whom the same are offered shall advise him in a voice
1438	1438	5 clearly audible to the other judges of election that the voter
1439	1439	6 must return the remainder of the ballots. The statement of the
1440	1440	7 judge to the voter shall clearly express the fact that the
1441	1441	8 voter is not required to vote such remaining ballots but that
1442	1442	9 whether or not he votes them he must fold and deliver them to
1443	1443	10 the judge. In making such statement the judge of election
1444	1444	11 shall not indicate by word, gesture or intonation of voice
1445	1445	12 that the unreturned ballots shall be voted in any particular
1446	1446	13 manner. No new voter shall be permitted to enter the voting
1447	1447	14 booth of a voter who has failed to deliver the total number of
1448	1448	15 ballots received by him until such voter has returned to the
1449	1449	16 voting booth pursuant to the judge's request and again quit
1450	1450	17 the booth with all of the ballots required to be returned by
1451	1451	18 him. Upon receipt of all such ballots the judges of election
1452	1452	19 shall enter the name of the voter, and his number, as above
1453	1453	20 provided in this Section, and the judge to whom the ballots are
1454	1454	21 delivered shall immediately put the ballots into the ballot
1455	1455	22 box. If any voter who has failed to deliver all the ballots
1456	1456	23 received by him refuses to return to the voting booth after
1457	1457	24 being advised by the judge of election as herein provided, the
1458	1458	25 judge shall inform the other judges of such refusal, and

1474	1474	5 from the voter shall announce the residence and name of such
1475	1475	6 voter in a loud voice. The judge shall put the ballot or
1476	1476	7 ballots received from the voter into the ballot box in the
1477	1477	8 presence of the voter and the judges of election, and in plain
1478	1478	9 view of the public. The judges having charge of such registers

1483	1483	14 first advising the voter in the manner above provided of the
1484	1484	15 necessity of returning all of the ballots, nor shall any such
1485	1485	16 judge advise such voter in a manner contrary to that which is
1486	1486	17 herein permitted, or in any other manner violate the
1487	1487	18 provisions of this Section; provided, that the acceptance by a
1488	1488	19 judge of election of less than the full number of ballots
1489	1489	20 delivered to a voter who refuses to return to the voting booth
1490	1490	21 after being properly advised by such judge shall not be a

1653	1653	5 it, which contains the person's original written affidavit
1654	1654	6 and, if any, information provided by the provisional voter
1655	1655	7 to support his or her claim that he or she is a duly
1656	1656	8 registered voter. An election judge must also give the
1657	1657	9 person written information that states that any person who
1658	1658	10 casts a provisional ballot shall be able to ascertain,
1659	1659	11 pursuant to guidelines established by the State Board of
1660	1660	12 Elections, whether the provisional vote was counted in the
1661	1661	13 official canvass of votes for that election and, if the
1662	1662	14 provisional vote was not counted, the reason that the vote
1663	1663	15 was not counted.
1664	1664	16 (6) After the person has completed marking his or her
1665	1665	17 provisional ballot, he or she shall place the marked
1666	1666	18 ballot inside of the provisional ballot envelope, close
1667	1667	19 and seal the envelope, and return the envelope to an
1668	1668	20 election judge, who shall then deposit the sealed
1669	1669	21 provisional ballot envelope into a securable container
1670	1670	22 separately identified and utilized for containing sealed
1671	1671	23 provisional ballot envelopes. Ballots that are provisional
1672	1672	24 because they are cast after 7:00 p.m. by court order shall
1673	1673	25 be kept separate from other provisional ballots. Upon the
1674	1674	26 closing of the polls, the securable container shall be

1688	1688	4 shall sign the seal.
1689	1689	5 (c) Instead of the affidavit form described in subsection
1690	1690	6 (b), the county clerk or board of election commissioners, as
1691	1691	7 the case may be, may design and use a multi-part affidavit form
1692	1692	8 that is imprinted upon or attached to the provisional ballot
1693	1693	9 envelope described in subsection (b). If a county clerk or
1694	1694	10 board of election commissioners elects to design and use its
1695	1695	11 own multi-part affidavit form, then the county clerk or board
1696	1696	12 of election commissioners shall establish a mechanism for
1697	1697	13 accepting any information the provisional voter has supplied
1698	1698	14 to the election judge to support his or her claim that he or
1699	1699	15 she is a duly registered voter. In all other respects, a county
1700	1700	16 clerk or board of election commissioners shall establish
1701	1701	17 procedures consistent with subsection (b).
1702	1702	18 (d) The county clerk or board of election commissioners,
1703	1703	19 as the case may be, shall use the completed affidavit form

1705	1705	21 registration information in the State voter registration
1706	1706	22 database and voter registration database of the county clerk
1707	1707	23 or board of election commissioners, as the case may be. If a
1708	1708	24 person is later determined not to be a registered voter based
1709	1709	25 on Section 18A-15 of this Code, then the affidavit shall be

1808	1808	17 investigate and record whether or not the specified
1809	1809	18 information is available from each of the 5 identified
1810	1810	19 sources. If the information is available from one or more of
1811	1811	20 the identified sources, then the county clerk or board of
1812	1812	21 election commissioners shall seek to obtain the information
1813	1813	22 from each of those sources until satisfied, with information
1814	1814	23 from at least one of those sources, that the provisional voter

1829	1829	2 information available to the county clerk or board of election
1830	1830	3 commissioners as to the registration status of the provisional
1831	1831	4 voter, then the county clerk or board of election
1832	1832	5 commissioners shall make a determination based on the totality
1833	1833	6 of the circumstances. In a case where the above information
1834	1834	7 equally supports or opposes the registration status of the
1835	1835	8 voter, the county clerk or board of election commissioners
1836	1836	9 shall decide in favor of the provisional voter as being duly
1837	1837	10 registered to vote. If the statewide voter registration
1838	1838	11 database maintained by the State Board of Elections indicates
1839	1839	12 that the provisional voter is registered to vote, but the
1840	1840	13 county clerk's or board of election commissioners' voter
1841	1841	14 registration database indicates that the provisional voter is
1842	1842	15 not registered to vote, then the information found in the
1843	1843	16 statewide voter registration database shall control the matter
1844	1844	17 and the provisional voter shall be deemed to be registered to
1845	1845	18 vote. If the records of the county clerk or board of election
1846	1846	19 commissioners indicates that the provisional voter is
1847	1847	20 registered to vote, but the statewide voter registration
1848	1848	21 database maintained by the State Board of Elections indicates
1849	1849	22 that the provisional voter is not registered to vote, then the
1850	1850	23 information found in the records of the county clerk or board
1851	1851	24 of election commissioners shall control the matter and the
1852	1852	25 provisional voter shall be deemed to be registered to vote. If

1867	1867	4 may not reject the provisional ballot.
1868	1868	5 (d) In validating the registration status of a person
1869	1869	6 casting a provisional ballot, the county clerk or board of
1870	1870	7 election commissioners shall not require a provisional voter
1871	1871	8 to complete any form other than the affidavit executed by the
1872	1872	9 provisional voter under subsection (b)(2) of Section 18A-5. In
1873	1873	10 addition, the county clerk or board of election commissioners
1874	1874	11 shall not require all provisional voters or any particular
1875	1875	12 class or group of provisional voters to appear personally
1876	1876	13 before the county clerk or board of election commissioners or
1877	1877	14 as a matter of policy require provisional voters to submit
1878	1878	15 additional information to verify or otherwise support the
1879	1879	16 information already submitted by the provisional voter. Within
1880	1880	17 2 calendar days after the election, the election authority
1881	1881	18 shall transmit by electronic means pursuant to a process
1882	1882	19 established by the State Board of Elections the name, street
1883	1883	20 address, e-mail address, and precinct, ward, township, and
1884	1884	21 district numbers, as the case may be, of each person casting a
1885	1885	22 provisional ballot to the State Board of Elections, which
1886	1886	23 shall maintain those names and that information in an
1887	1887	24 electronic format on its website, arranged by county and

1904	1904	5 county clerk or board of election commissioners with the
1905	1905	6 required photo identification card. This information must be
1906	1906	7 received by the county clerk or board of election

1912	1912	13 counted. The provisional ballot envelope containing the ballot
1913	1913	14 cast by the provisional voter may not be opened. The county
1914	1914	15 clerk or board of election commissioners shall write on the
1915	1915	16 provisional ballot envelope the following: "Provisional ballot
1916	1916	17 determined invalid.".

2581	2581	8 received, but in all cases before the close of the period for
2582	2582	9 counting provisional ballots, the election judge or official
2583	2583	10 shall compare the voter's signature on the certification
2584	2584	11 envelope of that vote by mail ballot with the voter's
2585	2585	12 signature on the application verified in accordance with
2586	2586	13 Section 19-4 or the signature of the voter on file in the
2587	2587	14 office of the election authority. If the election judge or
2588	2588	15 official determines that the 2 signatures match, and that the
2589	2589	16 vote by mail voter is otherwise qualified to cast a vote by
2590	2590	17 mail ballot, the election authority shall cast and count the
2591	2591	18 ballot on election day or the day the ballot is determined to
2592	2592	19 be valid, whichever is later, adding the results to the
2593	2593	20 precinct in which the voter is registered. If the election
2594	2594	21 judge or official determines that the signatures do not match,
2595	2595	22 or that the vote by mail voter is not qualified to cast a vote
2596	2596	23 by mail ballot, then without opening the certification
2597	2597	24 envelope, the judge or official shall mark across the face of
2598	2598	25 the certification envelope the word "Rejected" and shall not
2599	2599	26 cast or count the ballot.

2623	2623	14 shall not cast or count the ballot.
2624	2624	15 (g-5) If a vote by mail ballot is rejected by the election
