The substitute amendment permits an individual to use a veterans
identification card issued by the Veterans Health Administration of the federal
Department of Veterans Affairs to be used as proof of identification if the card
contains the individual's name and photograph.
Receiving absentee ballots by mail
The substitute amendment changes the date by which an elector must return
and a municipal clerk must receive an absentee ballot by mail. Under current law,
an elector may vote by absentee ballot either in person or by returning a completed
ballot by U.S. mail. Current law requires a municipal clerk to accept and count the

votes on absentee ballots received by mail as long as the ballot is postmarked no later
than election day and received in the office of the municipal clerk by 4 p.m. on the
Friday following election day.
The substitute amendment retains the right of an elector to vote by absentee
ballot by mail, but requires the elector to return the ballot so that it is received no
later than 8 p.m. on election day. Under current law, the polls close at 8 p.m. on
election day.
Absentee ballots; witness certificate
Under current law, in order to vote using an absentee ballot, an individual must
complete a certificate, which certifies that the individual is a qualified elector. The
individual must sign the certificate in the presence of a witness who must also sign
the certificate and provide his or her name and address. Under the substitute
amendment, an absentee ballot may not be counted if the certificate is missing the
address of a witness.
Election administration and reporting
Current law requires the Government Accountability Board to compile and
maintain an electronic voter registration list. The list provides the name, address,
and date of birth of each registered elector in this state and the ward or aldermanic
district associated with each registered elector. The list also contains other
identification information for each elector and information transmitted to the board
from the Department of Corrections.
This substitute amendment requires that the board provide the following
information on the voter registration list:
1. The date on which an elector applied to vote by in-person absentee ballot.
2. The date on which the clerk mailed an absentee ballot to an elector and the
date on which the elector returned the absentee ballot.
3. The polling location associated with each elector's address and ward or
aldermanic district.
4. The mailing address for the municipal clerk associated with each polling
location.
Under current law, a municipal clerk must update the electronic voter
registration list maintained by the board promptly after receiving a valid
registration or change to an existing registration or after changing an elector's
registration status from eligible to ineligible. Under the substitute amendment,
whenever the clerk mails or receives an absentee ballot the clerk must update the
list no later than 48 hours after mailing or receiving the ballot or give the information
regarding the ballot to the clerk's designee who must update the list no later than
24 hours after receiving the information from the clerk.
The substitute amendment also requires that the board establish a
subscription service whereby a person may electronically access the absentee ballot
information the clerks provide to the board. In addition, the substitute amendment
requires a county clerk to post all election returns received by the clerk on election
night on an Internet site maintained by the county within two hours of receiving the
returns. The board must then link to the returns on an Internet site maintained by
the board.

Standards of conduct
This substitute amendment provides that all members of the Elections
Commission and all members of the Ethics Commission are subject to the standards
of conduct for state public officials. The substitute amendment also clarifies that a
member or employee of the Ethics Commission must file a statement of economic
interests. Current law specifically requires members and employees of the Elections
Commission to file statements of economic interests, but does not specifically require
members and employees of the Ethics Commission to do the same.
Segregated fund contributions
This substitute amendment limits the amount that a political action committee
may contribute to the segregated fund of a political party or legislative campaign
committee to $12,000 in any year. Current law limits the amount that a corporation,
cooperative, labor organization, or tribe may contribute to a segregated fund to
$12,000 in any year. All other persons may contribute to the fund in unlimited
amounts.
