GILES. 10 ILCS 5/16-3 from Ch. 46, par. 16-3 Amends the Election Code. Requires election authorities to print photographs of presidential candidates on general election ballots in presidential election years. Requires the State Board of Elections by rule to provide for the uniformity and certification of such photographs. Makes an election authority's failure to print a certified photo or use of an uncertified photo a Class C misdemeanor. FISCAL NOTE (State Board of Elections) HB496 would have minimal fiscal impact on the operations of the State Board of Elections. Any cost to implement the pro- visions of HB496, as introduced, can be absorbed within the regular operating budget. STATE MANDATES NOTE (Dept. of Commerce and Community Affairs) In the opinion of DCCA, HB 496 creates a local government organization and structure mandate for which reimbursement by the State is not required under the State Mandates Act. HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1. Requires that the names of the presidential and vice presidential candidates appear on the ballot and that the candidate's punch number appear below his or her name. Removes the alternative that the candidate's photo appear with his or her party designation if the candidate's name does not appear on the ballot.
