Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Election Code and the Illinois Vehicle Code. Requires that deputy registrars accept voter registrations of persons residing anywhere in Illinois. Requires the Departments of Human Services, Children and Family Services, Public Aid, and Employment Services to provide voter registration at their facilities. Requires those Departments, the Secretary of State, and public institutions of higher learning to post downloadable, printable voter registration forms on their websites. Requires public institutions of higher learning to include voter registration forms in any student registration materials they mail to Illinois addresses. Authorizes General Assembly members to provide voter registration forms at their district offices. Requires that address changes made at driver services facilities with respect to driver's licenses be sent to the proper election authority unless the person specifically requests that the change not be sent for voter registration purposes. Requires first time voters who registered by mail to vote in person unless they first provide specified types of documents identifying their name and address. Permits a registered voter whose name has changed but who lives in the same precinct to vote after making an affidavit at the polling place as to his or her identity and registration (now, only if the name change occurred at certain times and only if another voter attests to his or her identity). Requires the election authority to treat the affidavit as a request to register under the new name. Permits election authorities that post specimen ballots on their websites to publish notice of the website specimen ballots and availability of specimen ballots by mail, as an alternative to publishing the specimen ballots in newspapers. Requires that an employer must give an employee 2 hours to vote if the employee's work day begins less than 2 hours after the polls open and ends less than 2 hours before the polls close. Prohibits an employer from reducing an employee's compensation as a result of the employee's absence to vote. With respect to electronic voting systems, removes the requirement that a vendor's computer codes must be kept confidential. Makes other changes.
