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. 7-47.

Before leaving the booth, the primary elector shall fold his
primary ballot in such manner as to conceal the marks thereon. Such voter
shall then vote forthwith by handing the primary judge the primary ballot
received by such voter. Thereupon the primary judge shall deposit such
primary ballot in the ballot box. One of the judges shall thereupon enter
in the primary poll book the name of the primary elector, his residence and
his party affiliation or shall make the entries on the official poll record
as required by articles 4, 5 and 6, if any one of them is applicable.

Where voting machines or electronic voting systems are used, the
provisions of this section may be modified as required or authorized by
Article 24 or Article 24A, whichever is applicable.
