Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Election Code.

Provides that an election authority may seek an exemption from the State Board of Elections for equipment that does not meet the under-vote notification requirement. Requires that all election authorities have voting systems that meet the requirement by the 2014 general primary election. Effective immediately.
