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 5/24A-15.01) (from Ch. 46, par. 24A-15.01)

Sec. 24A-15.01.

Upon completion of the tabulation and retabulation of votes
pursuant to Sections 24A-11 through 24A-15, the ballots from each precinct
shall be replaced in the container in which they were transported to the
central counting station.  If such container is not a type which may be
securely locked, then each such container - before being transferred from the
counting station to storage - shall be sealed with filament tape wrapped around
such container lengthwise and crosswise, at least twice each way, and in such
manner that the ballots cannot be removed from the container without breaking
the tape.
