Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Election Code. Abolishes local canvassing boards and provides that canvasses must be done by election authorities. Requires election authorities to transmit, by fax, e-mail, or other electronic means, a certificate of the results of the election to the State Board of Elections. Amends the Revised Cities and Villages Act of 1941. Provides that recounts for the office of alderman in the City of Chicago must be filed and conducted in accordance with the Election Code (instead of within 5 days after the election).

House Amendment No. 1

	65 ILCS 20/21-27

House Amendment No. 2

	Adds reference to:
	10 ILCS 5/23-23	from Ch. 46, par. 23-23

Further amends the Election Code. With respect to court-ordered recounts in contested elections, changes references from the "board of election commissioners or canvassing board" to the "election authority".

Senate Floor Amendment No. 2
Specifies that the bill's substitution of the election authority in whose jurisdiction a political subdivision's principal office is located for statutory references to a canvassing board when the political subdivision is within 2 or more election authorities' jurisdictions is only with respect to elections for (i) offices other than statewide, legislative, judicial, county, and certain regional offices and (ii) public questions other than constitutional amendments and propositions submitted statewide.
