establish and maintain a portal for government agency
registration that permits an eligible person to electronically
apply to register to vote or to update his or her existing
voter registration whenever he or she conducts business, either

Whenever the registration interface is accessible to the
general public, including, but not limited to, online
transactions, the interface shall allow the applicant to
complete the process as provided for in Section 1A-16.5 of this
Code. The online interface shall be capable of providing the
applicant with the applicant's voter registration status with
the State Board of Elections and, if registered, the
applicant's current registration address. The applicant shall
not be required to re-enter any registration data, such as
name, address, and birth date, if the designated government
agency already has that information on file. The applicant
shall be informed that by choosing to register to vote or to
update his or her existing voter registration, the applicant

eligibility requirements for voter registration including
citizenship, of the penalties for submitting a false voter
registration application, that the agency at which he or she
applies to register to vote shall be confidential, that
declining to register to vote shall be confidential, and that
registering to vote or declining to register to vote shall not
affect an applicant's entitlement to any benefits. The
government employee shall not request duplicative information
other than a signature and shall request additional information
only if necessary to prevent duplicate voter registrations and
enable the government employee to assess the eligibility of the

information collected by the designated government agency

attested that he or she is so qualified, then the designated
government agency shall electronically transmit the
applicant's voter registration application information to the
State Board of Elections for voter registration purposes as
provided for under Section 1A-16.5 of this Code. If the
applicant's voter registration application information
indicates that the applicant is qualified to register to vote

qualifications under penalty of perjury, the designated
government agency shall electronically transmit all
information relevant to voter registration to the State Board
of Elections for identification and registration of additional
eligible but unregistered persons.

information collected by the designated government agency

not qualified to vote as shown by a current green card or other

electronically transmit the applicant's voter registration
application information to the State Board of Elections for
voter registration purposes.
(a-20) If the applicant's voter registration application
information collected by the designated government agency
during the transaction does not make it clear whether or not
the applicant is qualified to register to vote in Illinois, the

meets the eligibility requirements for voter registration
shall be deemed sufficient to qualify the applicant to register
to vote and the designated government agency shall
electronically transmit the applicant's voter registration
application information to the State Board of Elections for
voter registration purposes as provided for under Section
1A-16.5 of this Code.
(a-25) If information transferred pursuant to this Section

(a-45) If a designated government agency electronically
transmits to the State Board of Elections or any other election

qualify as an eligible voter, it shall not constitute a
completed voter registration form, and the person shall not be
considered to have registered to vote. If such registration is
processed by the State Board of Elections or other election

officially authorized by the State and that person shall not be
found on that basis to have made a false claim to citizenship
or to have committed an act of moral turpitude, nor shall that

Code. When the pre-registrant is qualified to vote, the State
Board of Elections shall automatically generate a notice and
mail it to the pre-registrant at the address at which he or she
pre-registered or any updated address to notify the
pre-registrant of his or her eligibility to vote in the next
election. The notice may be sent by electronic mail if the
pre-registrant has provided an electronic mail address on the
voter registration form.
(a-60) In the event that the registration of a voter is

the election authority as having been registered at the prior

the Secretary of State's database or the statewide voter
registration database, the applicant must be notified that
