Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

(10 ILCS 5/19A-65)

Sec. 19A-65. Death of voter before opening of polls.

Whenever due proof
is made to the judges of election or election authority personnel counting early ballots that any voter who has marked an early ballot
as provided in this Article has died before the opening of the polls on the
date of the election, the ballot of the deceased voter shall be returned in the same manner provided for rejected ballots; but the
casting of the ballot of a deceased voter shall not invalidate the election.
