| Public Act 098-0773 | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning local government.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Election Code is amended by changing Section | ||||
11-4.1 as follows:
| ||||
(10 ILCS 5/11-4.1) (from Ch. 46, par. 11-4.1)
| ||||
Sec. 11-4.1. | ||||
(a) In appointing polling places under this Article, the
| ||||
county board or board of election commissioners shall, insofar | ||||
as they are
convenient and available, use schools and other | ||||
public buildings as polling
places.
| ||||
(b) Upon request of the county board or board of election | ||||
commissioners,
the proper agency of government (including | ||||
school districts and units of
local government) shall make a | ||||
public building under its control available
for use as a | ||||
polling place on an election day and for a reasonably
necessary | ||||
time before and after election day, without charge.
If the | ||||
county board or board of election commissioners chooses a | ||||
school
to be a polling place, then the school district must | ||||
make the school
available for use as a polling place.
However, | ||||
for the day of the election, a school district is encouraged to | ||||
(i) close the school or (ii) hold a teachers institute on that | ||||
day with students not in attendance may choose to (i)
keep the | ||||
school open or (ii) hold a teachers institute on that day.
| ||
(c) A government agency which makes a public building under | ||
its
control available for use as a polling place shall (i) | ||
ensure the portion of
the building to be used as the polling | ||
place is accessible to handicapped
and elderly voters and (ii) | ||
allow the election authority to administer the election as | ||
authorized under this Code.
| ||
(d) If a qualified elector's precinct polling place is a | ||
school and the elector will be unable to enter that polling | ||
place without violating Section 11-9.3 of the Criminal Code of | ||
2012 because the elector is a child sex offender as defined in | ||
Section 11-9.3 of the Criminal Code of 2012, that elector may | ||
vote by absentee ballot in accordance with Article 19 of this | ||
Code or may vote early in accordance with Article 19A of this | ||
Code. | ||
