(10 ILCS 5/15-4) (from Ch. 46, par. 15-4)
Sec. 15-4.
(a) In municipalities operating under Article 6 of this Act the
Board of Election Commissioners shall provide all necessary ballot boxes
and all registration record cards, forms of affidavits, forms of
notices, certificates of registered voters, tally sheets, blanks and
stationery of every description, with printed headings and certificates,
necessary and proper for the registry of voters and the conduct of such
elections and for every incidental purpose, connected therewith.
(b) The Board of Election Commissioners may provide ballot boxes not
of a permanent type, not of wooden or metal construction, not requiring
locks or keys, nor having doors or windows, if (1) such ballot boxes are
so constructed as to be completely sealed and empty units upon delivery
to the polling place, (2) they can be prepared for the inserting and
depositing of ballots by the removal of a perforated section in the top
of each such ballot box, which removal creates an open slot not larger
than is sufficient to admit a single closed ballot to be inserted
therein at one time and through which each ballot voted shall be put
into the boxes, and (3) such ballot boxes contain a perforated door or
flap on one side which can be unsealed and opened for removal of the
ballots when voting has been completed. No ballot box authorized by this
paragraph shall be used on more than one election day.
