17 | State. | ||||||
18 | (a) The Office of the Secretary of State and the State | ||||||

3 | a State identification card issued by the Office of the | ||||||
4 | Secretary of State meets the requirements of the federal REAL | ||||||
5 | ID Act of 2005, then that application shall serve as a | ||||||
6 | dual-purpose application. The dual-purpose application shall: | ||||||
7 | (1) also serve as an application to register to vote in | ||||||
8 | Illinois; | ||||||
9 | (2) allow an applicant to change his or her registered | ||||||
10 | residence address or name as it appears on the voter | ||||||
11 | registration rolls; | ||||||

14 | or her registered residence address or name by providing a | ||||||
15 | check box on the application form without requiring the | ||||||
16 | applicant to state the reason; and | ||||||

26 | change of address form, or a recertification form for a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | driver's license, other than a temporary visitor's driver's | ||||||
2 | license, or a State identification card issued by the Office of | ||||||
3 | the Secretary of State does not meet the requirements of the | ||||||
4 | federal REAL ID Act of 2005, then that application shall serve | ||||||
5 | as a dual-purpose application. The dual-purpose application | ||||||
6 | shall: | ||||||
7 | (1) also serve as an application to register to vote in | ||||||
8 | Illinois; | ||||||
9 | (2) allow an applicant to change his or her registered | ||||||
10 | residence address or name as it appears on the voter | ||||||
11 | registration rolls; and | ||||||

17 | her residence address as indicated on his or her | ||||||
18 | dual-purpose application. | ||||||
19 | (b-10) The Office of the Secretary of State shall clearly | ||||||
20 | and conspicuously inform each applicant in writing: (i) of the | ||||||
21 | qualifications to register to vote in Illinois, (ii) of the | ||||||
22 | penalties provided by law for submission of a false voter | ||||||
23 | registration application, (iii) that, unless the applicant | ||||||
24 | declines to register to vote or update his or her voter | ||||||
25 | registration, his or her dual-purpose application shall also | ||||||
26 | serve as both an application to register to vote and his or her |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | attestation that he or she meets the eligibility requirements | ||||||
2 | for voter registration, and that his or her application to | ||||||
3 | register to vote or update his or her registration will be | ||||||
4 | transmitted to the State Board of Elections for the purpose of | ||||||
5 | registering the person to vote at the residence address to be | ||||||
6 | indicated on his or her driver's license or identification | ||||||
7 | card, and (iv) that declining to register to vote is | ||||||
8 | confidential and will not affect any services the person may be | ||||||
9 | seeking from the Office of the Secretary of State. | ||||||
10 | (c) The Office of the Secretary of State shall review | ||||||
11 | information provided to the Office of the Secretary of State by | ||||||
12 | the State Board of Elections to inform each applicant for a | ||||||
13 | driver's license or permit, other than a temporary visitor's | ||||||
14 | driver's license, or a State identification card issued by the | ||||||
15 | Office of the Secretary of State whether the applicant is | ||||||
16 | currently registered to vote in Illinois and, if registered, at | ||||||
17 | what address. | ||||||
18 | (d) The Office of the Secretary of State shall not require | ||||||
19 | an applicant for a driver's license or State identification | ||||||
20 | card to provide duplicate identification or information in | ||||||

22 | his or her registered residence address or name. Before | ||||||
23 | transmitting any personal information about an applicant to the | ||||||
24 | State Board of Elections, the Office of the Secretary of State | ||||||
25 | shall review its records of the identification documents the | ||||||
26 | applicant provided in order to complete the application for a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | driver's license or State identification card, to confirm that | ||||||
2 | nothing in those documents indicates that the applicant does | ||||||
3 | not satisfy the qualifications to register to vote in Illinois | ||||||
4 | at his or her residence address. | ||||||
5 | (e) A completed, signed application for (i) a driver's | ||||||
6 | license or permit, other than a temporary visitor's driver's | ||||||
7 | license, or a State identification card issued by the Office of | ||||||
8 | the Secretary of State, that meets the requirements of the | ||||||
9 | federal REAL ID Act of 2005; or (ii) a completed application | ||||||
10 | under subsection (b-5) of this Section with a separate | ||||||
11 | signature attesting the applicant meets the qualifications to | ||||||
12 | register to vote in Illinois at his or her residence address as | ||||||
13 | indicated on his or her application shall constitute a signed | ||||||
14 | application to register to vote in Illinois at the residence | ||||||
15 | address indicated in the application unless the person | ||||||
16 | affirmatively declined in the application to register to vote | ||||||
17 | or to change his or her registered residence address or name. | ||||||
18 | If the identification documents provided to complete the | ||||||
19 | dual-purpose application indicate that he or she does not | ||||||
20 | satisfy the qualifications to register to vote in Illinois at | ||||||
21 | his or her residence address, the application shall be marked | ||||||
22 | as incomplete. | ||||||
23 | (f) For each completed and signed application that | ||||||
24 | constitutes an application to register to vote in Illinois or | ||||||
25 | provides for a change in the applicant's registered residence | ||||||
26 | address or name, the Office of the Secretary of State shall |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | electronically transmit to the State Board of Elections | ||||||
2 | personal information needed to complete the person's | ||||||
3 | registration to vote in Illinois at his or her residence | ||||||
4 | address. The application to register to vote shall be processed | ||||||
5 | in accordance with Section 1A-16.7. | ||||||
6 | (g) If the federal REAL ID Act of 2005 is repealed, | ||||||
7 | abrogated, superseded, or otherwise no longer in effect, then | ||||||
8 | the State Board of Elections shall establish criteria for | ||||||
9 | determining reliable personal information indicating | ||||||
10 | citizenship status and shall adopt rules as necessary for the | ||||||
11 | Secretary of State to continue processing dual-purpose | ||||||
12 | applications under this Section. | ||||||
13 | (h) As used in this Section, "dual-purpose application" | ||||||
14 | means an application, an application for renewal, a change of | ||||||
15 | address form, or a recertification form for driver's license or | ||||||
16 | permit, other than a temporary visitor's driver's license, or a | ||||||
17 | State identification card offered by the Secretary of State | ||||||
18 | that also serves as an application to register to vote in | ||||||
19 | Illinois. "Dual-purpose application" does not mean an | ||||||
20 | application under subsection (c) of Section 6-109 of the | ||||||
21 | Illinois Vehicle Code. | ||||||

| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | shall, pursuant to an interagency contract and jointly-adopted | ||||||
2 | rules with the State Board of Elections, agree to participate | ||||||
3 | in an automatic voter registration program established by the | ||||||
4 | State Board of Elections that satisfies the requirements of | ||||||
5 | this Section and other applicable law. If the designated | ||||||
6 | automatic voter registration agency provides applications, | ||||||
7 | applications for renewal, change of address forms, or | ||||||
8 | recertification forms to individuals for services offered by | ||||||
9 | another agency, then the State Board of Elections and the | ||||||
10 | designated automatic voter agency shall consult with the other | ||||||
11 | agency. The State Board of Elections shall consider the current | ||||||
12 | technological capabilities of the designated voter | ||||||
13 | registration agency when drafting interagency contracts and | ||||||
14 | jointly-adopted rules. The State Board of Elections and the | ||||||
15 | designated automatic voter registration agency shall amend | ||||||
16 | these contracts and rules as the technological capabilities of | ||||||
17 | the designated voter registration agencies improve. | ||||||
18 | (b) As provided in subsection (a) of this Section, each | ||||||
19 | designated automatic voter registration agency that collects | ||||||
20 | or cross-references reliable personal information indicating | ||||||
21 | citizenship status may provide that an application for a | ||||||
22 | license, permit, program, or service shall serve as a | ||||||
23 | dual-purpose application. The dual-purpose application shall: | ||||||
24 | (1) also serve as an application to register to vote in | ||||||
25 | Illinois; | ||||||
26 | (2) allow an applicant to change his or her registered |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | residence address or name as it appears on the voter | ||||||
2 | registration rolls; | ||||||

4 | affirmatively decline to register to vote or change his or | ||||||
5 | her registered residence address or name by providing a | ||||||

7 | applicant to state the reason; and | ||||||
8 | (4) unless the applicant declines to register to vote | ||||||
9 | or to change his or her registered residence address or | ||||||
10 | name, require the applicant to attest, by signature under | ||||||
11 | penalty of perjury, to meeting the qualifications to | ||||||
12 | register to vote in Illinois at his or her residence | ||||||
13 | address as indicated on his or her dual-purpose | ||||||
14 | application. | ||||||
15 | (c) As provided in subsection (a) of this Section, each | ||||||
16 | designated automatic voter registration agency that does not | ||||||
17 | collect or cross-reference records containing reliable | ||||||
18 | personal information indicating citizenship status may provide | ||||||
19 | that an application, an application for renewal, a change of | ||||||
20 | address form, or a recertification form for a license, permit, | ||||||
21 | program, or service shall serve as a dual-purpose application. | ||||||
22 | The dual-purpose application shall: | ||||||
23 | (1) also serve as an application to register to vote in | ||||||
24 | Illinois; | ||||||
25 | (2) allow an applicant to change his or her registered | ||||||
26 | residence address or name as it appears on the voter |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | registration rolls; and | ||||||
2 | (3) if the applicant chooses to register to vote or to | ||||||
3 | change his or her registered residence address or name, | ||||||
4 | then require the applicant to attest, by a separate | ||||||
5 | signature under penalty of perjury, to meeting the | ||||||
6 | qualifications to register to vote in Illinois at his or | ||||||
7 | her residence address as indicated on his or her | ||||||
8 | dual-purpose application. | ||||||
9 | (c-5) The designated automatic voter registration agency | ||||||
10 | shall clearly and conspicuously inform each applicant in | ||||||
11 | writing: (i) of the qualifications to register to vote in | ||||||
12 | Illinois, (ii) of the penalties provided by law for submission | ||||||
13 | of a false voter registration application, (iii) that, unless | ||||||
14 | the applicant declines to register to vote or update his or her | ||||||
15 | voter registration, his or her application shall also serve as | ||||||
16 | both an application to register to vote and his or her | ||||||
17 | attestation that he or she meets the eligibility requirements | ||||||
18 | for voter registration, and that his or her application to | ||||||
19 | register to vote or update his or her registration will be | ||||||
20 | transmitted to the State Board of Elections for the purpose of | ||||||
21 | registering the person to vote at the residence address to be | ||||||
22 | indicated on the dual-purpose application, (iv) that | ||||||
23 | information identifying the agency at which he or she applied | ||||||
24 | to register to vote is confidential, (v) that declining to | ||||||
25 | register to vote is confidential and will not affect any | ||||||
26 | services the person may be seeking from the agency, and (vi) |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | any additional information needed in order to comply with | ||||||
2 | Section 7 of the federal National Voter Registration Act of | ||||||
3 | 1993. | ||||||
4 | (d) The designated automatic voter registration agency | ||||||
5 | shall review information provided to the agency by the State | ||||||
6 | Board of Elections to inform each applicant whether the | ||||||
7 | applicant is currently registered to vote in Illinois and, if | ||||||
8 | registered, at what address. | ||||||
9 | (e) The designated automatic voter registration agency | ||||||
10 | shall not require an applicant for a dual-purpose application | ||||||
11 | to provide duplicate identification or information in order to | ||||||
12 | complete an application to register to vote or change his or | ||||||
13 | her registered residence address or name. Before transmitting | ||||||
14 | any personal information about an applicant to the State Board | ||||||
15 | of Elections, the agency shall review its records of the | ||||||
16 | identification documents the applicant provided or that the | ||||||
17 | agency cross-references in order to complete the dual-purpose | ||||||
18 | application, to confirm that nothing in those documents | ||||||
19 | indicates that the applicant does not satisfy the | ||||||
20 | qualifications to register to vote in Illinois at his or her | ||||||
21 | residence address. A completed and signed dual-purpose | ||||||
22 | application, including a completed application under | ||||||
23 | subsection (c) of this Section with a separate signature | ||||||
24 | attesting that the applicant meets the qualifications to | ||||||
25 | register to vote in Illinois at his or her residence address as | ||||||
26 | indicated on his or her application, shall constitute an |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | application to register to vote in Illinois at the residence | ||||||
2 | address indicated in the application unless the person | ||||||
3 | affirmatively declined in the application to register to vote | ||||||
4 | or to change his or her registered residence address or name. | ||||||
5 | If the identification documents provided to complete the | ||||||
6 | dual-purpose application, or that the agency cross-references, | ||||||
7 | indicate that he or she does not satisfy the qualifications to | ||||||
8 | register to vote in Illinois at his or her residence address, | ||||||
9 | the application shall be marked as incomplete. | ||||||
10 | (f) For each completed and signed dual-purpose application | ||||||
11 | that constitutes an application to register to vote in Illinois | ||||||
12 | or provides for a change in the applicant's registered | ||||||

14 | shall maintain a data transfer mechanism capable of | ||||||
15 | transmitting voter registration application information, | ||||||
16 | including electronic signatures where available, to the online | ||||||
17 | voter registration system established in Section 1A-16.5 of | ||||||
18 | this Code. Each designated government agency shall establish | ||||||
19 | and operate a voter registration system capable of transmitting | ||||||
20 | voter registration application information to the portal as | ||||||
21 | described in this Section by July 1, 2016. | ||||||
22 | (b) Whenever an applicant's data is transferred from a | ||||||
23 | designated government agency, the agency must transmit a | ||||||
24 | signature image if available. If no signature image was | ||||||
25 | provided by the agency or if no signature image is available in | ||||||
26 | the Secretary of State's database or the statewide voter |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | registration database, the applicant must be notified that | ||||||
2 | their registration will remain in a pending status and the | ||||||

11 | (d) The State Board of Elections shall submit a report to | ||||||
12 | the General Assembly and the Governor by December 1, 2015 | ||||||
13 | detailing the progress made to implement the government agency | ||||||
14 | voter registration portal described in this Section. | ||||||

2 | Sec. 1A-16.7. Automatic voter registration. | ||||||
3 | (a) The State Board of Elections shall establish and | ||||||

11 | registration application information, including electronic | ||||||
12 | signatures, from the Office of the Secretary of State and each | ||||||
13 | designated automatic voter registration agency, as defined in | ||||||
14 | Section 1A-16.2. The State Board of Elections may | ||||||
15 | cross-reference voter registration information from any | ||||||
16 | designated automatic voter registration agency, as defined | ||||||
17 | under Section 1A-16.2 of this Code, with information contained | ||||||

23 | Secretary of State or a designated automatic voter registration | ||||||
24 | agency through the online registration application system | ||||||
25 | shall be processed as provided in Section 1A-16.5 of this Code. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (c) The State Board of Elections shall establish technical | ||||||
2 | specifications applicable to each automatic government | ||||||
3 | registration program, including data format and transmission | ||||||
4 | specifications. The Office of the Secretary of State and each | ||||||
5 | designated automatic voter registration agency shall maintain | ||||||
6 | a data transfer mechanism capable of transmitting voter | ||||||
7 | registration application information, including electronic | ||||||
8 | signatures where available, to the online voter registration | ||||||
9 | system established in Section 1A-16.5 of this Code. | ||||||
10 | (d) The State Board of Elections shall, by rule, establish | ||||||
11 | criteria and procedures for determining whether an agency of | ||||||
12 | the State or federal government seeking to become a designated | ||||||
13 | automatic voter registration agency has access to reliable | ||||||
14 | personal information, as defined under this subsection (d) and | ||||||
15 | subsection (f) of Section 1A-16.2 of this Code, and otherwise | ||||||
16 | meets the requirements to enter into an interagency contract | ||||||
17 | and to operate as a designated automatic voter registration | ||||||
18 | agency. The State Board of Elections shall approve each | ||||||

20 | members. | ||||||
21 | As used in this subsection (d), "reliable personal | ||||||
22 | information" means information about individuals obtained from | ||||||

25 | (e) Whenever an applicant's data is transferred from the | ||||||
26 | Office of the Secretary of State or a designated automatic |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | voter registration agency, the agency must transmit a signature | ||||||
2 | image if available. If no signature image was provided by the | ||||||
3 | agency, or if no signature image is available in the Office of | ||||||
4 | the Secretary of State's database or the statewide voter | ||||||
5 | registration database, the applicant must be notified that his | ||||||
6 | or her registration will remain in a pending status, and the | ||||||
7 | applicant will be required to provide identification that | ||||||
8 | complies with the federal Help America Vote Act of 2002 and a | ||||||
9 | signature to the election authority on election day in the | ||||||
10 | polling place or during early voting. | ||||||
11 | (f) Upon receipt of personal information collected and | ||||||
12 | transferred by the Office of the Secretary of State or a | ||||||
13 | designated automatic voter registration agency, the State | ||||||
14 | Board of Elections shall check the information against the | ||||||
15 | statewide voter registration database. The State Board of | ||||||
16 | Elections shall create and electronically transmit to the | ||||||
17 | appropriate election authority a voter registration | ||||||
18 | application for any individual who is not registered to vote in | ||||||
19 | Illinois and is not disqualified as provided in this Section or | ||||||
20 | whose information reliably indicates a more recent update to | ||||||
21 | the name or address of a person already included in the | ||||||
22 | statewide voter database. The election authority shall process | ||||||
23 | the application accordingly. | ||||||
24 | (g) The appropriate election authority shall ensure that | ||||||
25 | any applicant who is registered to vote or whose existing voter | ||||||
26 | registration is updated under this Section is promptly sent |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | written notice of the change. The notice required by this | ||||||
2 | subsection (g) may be sent or combined with other notices | ||||||
3 | required or permitted by law, including, but not limited to, | ||||||
4 | any notices sent pursuant to Section 1A-16.5 of this Code. Any | ||||||
5 | notice required by this subsection (g) shall contain, at a | ||||||
6 | minimum: (i) the applicant's name and residential address as | ||||||
7 | reflected on the voter registration list; (ii) a statement | ||||||
8 | notifying the applicant to contact the appropriate election | ||||||
9 | authority if his or her voter registration has been updated in | ||||||
10 | error; (iii) the qualifications to register to vote in | ||||||
11 | Illinois; (iv) a statement notifying the applicant that he or | ||||||
12 | she may opt out of voter registration or request a change to | ||||||
13 | his or her registration information at any time by contacting | ||||||
14 | an election official; and (v) contact information for the | ||||||
15 | appropriate election authority, including a phone number, | ||||||
16 | address, electronic mail address, and website address. | ||||||
17 | (h) The appropriate election authority shall ensure that | ||||||
18 | any applicant whose voter registration application is not | ||||||
19 | accepted or deemed incomplete is promptly sent written notice | ||||||
20 | of the application's status. The notice required by this | ||||||
21 | subsection may be sent or combined with other notices required | ||||||
22 | or permitted by law, including, but not limited to, any notices | ||||||
23 | sent pursuant to Section 1A-16.5 of this Code. Any notice | ||||||
24 | required by this subsection (h) shall contain, at a minimum, | ||||||
25 | the reason the application was not accepted or deemed | ||||||
26 | incomplete and contact information for the appropriate |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | election authority, including a phone number, address, | ||||||
2 | electronic mail address, and website address. | ||||||
3 | (i) If the Office of the Secretary of State or a designated | ||||||
4 | automatic voter registration agency transfers information, or | ||||||
5 | if the State Board of Elections creates and transmits a voter | ||||||
6 | registration application, for a person who does not qualify as | ||||||
7 | an eligible voter, then it shall not constitute a completed | ||||||
8 | voter registration form, and the person shall not be considered | ||||||
9 | to have registered to vote. | ||||||
10 | (j) If the registration is processed by any election | ||||||
11 | authority, then it shall be presumed to have been effected and | ||||||
12 | officially authorized by the State, and that person shall not | ||||||
13 | be found on that basis to have made a false claim to | ||||||
14 | citizenship or to have committed an act of moral turpitude, nor | ||||||
15 | shall that person be subject to penalty under any relevant | ||||||
16 | laws, including, but not limited to, Sections 29-10 and 29-19 | ||||||
17 | of this Code. This subsection (j) does not apply to a person | ||||||
18 | who knows that he or she is not entitled to register to vote | ||||||
19 | and who willfully votes, registers to vote, or attests under | ||||||
20 | penalty of perjury that he or she is eligible to register to | ||||||
21 | vote or willfully attempts to vote or to register to vote. | ||||||
22 | (k) The State Board of Elections, the Office of the | ||||||
23 | Secretary of State, and each designated automatic voter | ||||||
24 | registration agency shall implement policies and procedures to | ||||||
25 | protect the privacy and security of voter information as it is | ||||||
26 | acquired, stored, and transmitted among agencies, including |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | policies for the retention and preservation of voter | ||||||
2 | information. Information designated as confidential under this | ||||||
3 | Section may be recorded and shared among the State Board of | ||||||
4 | Elections, election authorities, the Office of the Secretary of | ||||||
5 | State, and designated automatic voter registration agencies, | ||||||
6 | but shall be used only for voter registration purposes, shall | ||||||
7 | not be disclosed to the public except in the aggregate as | ||||||
8 | required by subsection (m) of this Section, and shall not be | ||||||
9 | subject to the Freedom of Information Act. The following | ||||||
10 | information shall be designated as confidential: | ||||||
11 | (1) any portion of an applicant's Social Security | ||||||
12 | number; | ||||||
13 | (2) any portion of an applicant's driver's license | ||||||
14 | number or State identification number; | ||||||
15 | (3) an applicant's decision to decline voter | ||||||
16 | registration; | ||||||
17 | (4) the identity of the person providing information | ||||||
18 | relating to a specific applicant; and | ||||||
19 | (5) the personal residence and contact information of | ||||||
20 | any applicant for whom notice has been given by an | ||||||
21 | appropriate legal authority. | ||||||
22 | This subsection (k) shall not apply to information the | ||||||
23 | State Board of Elections is required to share with the | ||||||
24 | Electronic Registration Information Center. | ||||||
25 | (l) The voter registration procedures implemented under | ||||||
26 | this Section shall comport with the federal National Voter |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Registration Act of 1993, as amended, and shall specifically | ||||||
2 | require that the State Board of Elections track registration | ||||||
3 | data received through the online registration system that | ||||||
4 | originated from a designated automatic voter registration | ||||||
5 | agency for the purposes of maintaining statistics. | ||||||
6 | Nothing in this Code shall require designated voter | ||||||
7 | registration agencies to transmit information that is | ||||||
8 | confidential client information under State or federal law | ||||||
9 | without the consent of the applicant. | ||||||
10 | (m) The State Board of Elections, each election authority | ||||||
11 | that maintains a website, the Office of the Secretary of State, | ||||||
12 | and each designated automatic voter registration agency that | ||||||
13 | maintains a website shall provide information on their websites | ||||||
14 | informing the public about the new registration procedures | ||||||
15 | described in this Section. The Office of the Secretary of State | ||||||
16 | and each designated automatic voter registration agency shall | ||||||
17 | display signage or provide literature for the public containing | ||||||
18 | information about the new registration procedures described in | ||||||
19 | this Section. | ||||||
20 | (n) No later than 6 months after the effective date of this | ||||||
21 | amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly, the State Board | ||||||
22 | of Elections shall hold at least one public hearing on | ||||||
23 | implementing this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly | ||||||
24 | at which the public may provide input. | ||||||
25 | (o) The State Board of Elections shall submit an annual | ||||||
26 | public report to the General Assembly and the Governor |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | detailing the progress made to implement this Section. The | ||||||
2 | report shall include all of the following: the number of | ||||||

8 | registration, and the number of voters who submitted voter | ||||||
9 | registration forms using the online procedure described in | ||||||
10 | Section 1A-16.5 of this Code. The 2018 and 2019 annual reports | ||||||
11 | may include less detail if election authorities are not | ||||||
12 | equipped to provide complete information to the State Board of | ||||||
13 | Elections. Any report produced under this subsection (o) shall | ||||||
14 | exclude any information that identifies any individual | ||||||
15 | personally. | ||||||
16 | (p) The State Board of Elections, in consultation with | ||||||
17 | election authorities, the Office of the Secretary of State, | ||||||
18 | designated automatic voter registration agencies, and | ||||||
19 | community organizations, shall adopt rules as necessary to | ||||||
20 | implement the provisions of this Section. | ||||||

22 | Sec. 1A-16.8. Automatic transfer of registration based | ||||||
23 | upon information from the National Change of Address database | ||||||
24 | and designated automatic voter registration agencies . | ||||||
25 | (a) The State Board of Elections shall cross-reference the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | statewide voter registration database against the United | ||||||
2 | States Postal Service's National Change of Address database | ||||||
3 | twice each calendar year, April 15 and October 1 in | ||||||
4 | odd-numbered years and April 15 and December 1 in even-numbered | ||||||
5 | years or with the same frequency as in subsection (b) of this | ||||||
6 | Section , and shall share the findings with the election | ||||||
7 | authorities. | ||||||
8 | (b) In addition, beginning no later than September 1, 2017, | ||||||
9 | the State Board of Elections shall utilize data provided as | ||||||
10 | part of its membership in the Electronic Registration | ||||||
11 | Information Center in order to cross-reference the statewide | ||||||
12 | voter registration database against databases of relevant | ||||||
13 | personal information kept by designated automatic voter | ||||||
14 | registration agencies, including, but not limited to, driver's | ||||||
15 | license information kept by the Secretary of State, at least 6 | ||||||
16 | times each calendar year and shall share the findings with | ||||||
17 | election authorities. | ||||||
18 | This subsection (b) shall no longer apply once Sections | ||||||
19 | 1A-16.1 and 1A-16.2 of this Code are fully implemented as | ||||||
20 | determined by the State Board of Elections. Upon a | ||||||
21 | determination by the State Board of Elections of full | ||||||
22 | implementation of Sections 1A-16.1 and 1A-16.2 of this Code, | ||||||
23 | the State Board of Elections shall file notice of full | ||||||
24 | implementation and the inapplicability of this subsection (b) | ||||||
25 | with the Index Department of the Office of the Secretary of | ||||||
26 | State, the Governor, the General Assembly, and the Legislative |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Reference Bureau. | ||||||
2 | (b-5) The State Board of Elections shall not be required to | ||||||
3 | share any data on any voter attained using the National Change | ||||||
4 | of Address database under subsection (a) of this Section if | ||||||
5 | that voter has a more recent government transaction indicated | ||||||
6 | using the cross-reference under subsection (b) of this Section. | ||||||
7 | If there is contradictory or unclear data between data obtained | ||||||
8 | under subsections (a) and (b) of this Section, then data | ||||||
9 | obtained under subsection (b) of this Section shall take | ||||||
10 | priority. | ||||||
11 | (c) An election authority shall automatically register any | ||||||
12 | voter who has moved into its jurisdiction from another | ||||||
13 | jurisdiction in Illinois or has moved within its jurisdiction | ||||||
14 | provided that: | ||||||
15 | (1) the election authority whose jurisdiction includes | ||||||
16 | the new registration address provides the voter an | ||||||
17 | opportunity to reject the change in registration address | ||||||
18 | through a mailing, sent by non-forwardable mail, to the new | ||||||
19 | registration address, and | ||||||
20 | (2) when the election authority whose jurisdiction | ||||||
21 | includes the previous registration address is a different | ||||||
22 | election authority, then that election authority provides | ||||||
23 | the same opportunity through a mailing, sent by forwardable | ||||||
24 | mail, to the previous registration address. | ||||||
25 | This change in registration shall trigger the same | ||||||
26 | inter-jurisdictional or intra-jurisdictional workflows as if |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the voter completed a new registration card, including the | ||||||
2 | cancellation of the voter's previous registration. Should the | ||||||
3 | registration of a voter be changed from one address to another | ||||||
4 | within the State and should the voter appear at the polls and | ||||||
5 | offer to vote from the prior registration address, attesting | ||||||
6 | that the prior registration address is the true current | ||||||
7 | address, the voter, if confirmed by the election authority as | ||||||
8 | having been registered at the prior registration address and | ||||||
9 | canceled only by the process authorized by this Section, shall | ||||||
10 | be issued a regular ballot, and the change of registration | ||||||
11 | address shall be canceled. If the election authority is unable | ||||||
12 | to immediately confirm the registration, the voter shall be | ||||||
13 | permitted to register and vote a regular ballot, provided that | ||||||
14 | he or she meets the documentary requirements for same-day | ||||||
15 | registration. If the election authority is unable to confirm | ||||||
16 | the registration and the voter does not meet the requirements | ||||||
17 | for same-day registration, the voter shall be issued a | ||||||
18 | provisional ballot.
| ||||||
19 | (d) No voter shall be disqualified from voting due to an | ||||||
20 | error relating to an update of registration under this Section. | ||||||
