Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Election Code. With respect to electronic voting equipment that uses a ballot sheet, provides that the space for write-in voting may appear (i) below each office on the sheet or (ii) after all ballot questions in the form specified for write-in voting on ballot card envelope flaps (now, below each office on the sheet).

House Amendment No. 1
Adds reference to:
10 ILCS 5/17-16.1from Ch. 46, par. 17-16.1
10 ILCS 5/18-9.1from Ch. 46, par. 18-9.1
10 ILCS 5/19-8from Ch. 46, par. 19-8
10 ILCS 5/20-8from Ch. 46, par. 20-8

Further amends the Election Code. With respect to an office appearing on the ballot, voids a voter's write-in vote or votes if the ballot is otherwise validly marked for a candidate or candidates whose names appear on the ballot and counting the write-in vote or votes would cause the ballot to be over-voted.
