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.

Sec. 24B-1.

Purpose.

The purpose of this Article is to
authorize the use of Precinct Tabulation Optical Scan Technology
voting systems approved by the State Board of Elections.  In
using Precinct Tabulation Optical Scan Technology, the voters or precinct
judges record votes by means of inserting marked ballots in
scanning and tabulating machines, which machines have voting defect
identification capability, and are so designed that ballots will be counted by
such machines at one or
more counting places.  This Article does not apply to voting systems without
voting defect identification technology capability.  This Article authorizes
the use of Precinct Tabulation
Optical Scan Technology voting systems for both central counting and
in-precinct counting applications.
