Effective immediately.

Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to SB 80 modifies the Election Code by changing the regulations around polling places and campaigning near them. Specifically, it ensures that voting booths are adequately set up in polling places for all voters, requiring at least one booth for every 75 voters based on the last election. Additionally, it expands the campaign-free zone to cover an entire property where an early voting polling place is located, rather than just a 100-foot radius, aiming to create a more peaceful voting environment. These changes are important because they enhance voter privacy and accessibility while reducing potential distractions and pressures during the voting process.

(a) All officers upon whom is imposed by law the duty of designating and providing polling places for general elections, shall provide in each such polling place so designated and provided, a sufficient number of booths for such primary election, which booths shall be provided with shelves, such supplies and pencils as will enable the voter to prepare his ballot for voting and in which voters may prepare their ballots screened from all observation as to the manner in which they do so.
Such booths shall be within plain view of the election officers and both they and the ballot boxes shall be within plain view of those within the proximity of the voting booths.
No person other than election officers and the challengers allowed by law and those admitted for the purpose of voting, as hereinafter provided, shall be permitted within the proximity of the voting booths, except by authority of the primary officers to keep order and enforce the law.
(b) The number of such voting booths shall not be less than SB0080 Engrossed - 2 - LRB096 03305 JAM 13323 b one to every seventy-five voters or fraction thereof, who voted at the last preceding election in the precinct or election district.
(c) No person shall do any electioneering or soliciting of votes on primary day within any polling place or within one hundred feet of any polling place, or, at the option of a church or private school, on any of the property of that church or private school that is a polling place.
Election officers shall place 2 or more cones, small United States national flags, or some other marker a distance of 100 horizontal feet from each entrance to the room used by voters to engage in voting, which shall be known as the polling room.
If the polling room is located within a building that is a private business, a public or private school, or a church or other organization founded for the purpose of religious worship and the distance of 100 horizontal feet ends within the interior of the building, then the markers shall be placed outside of the building at each entrance used by voters to enter that building on the grounds adjacent to the thoroughfare or walkway.
If the polling room is located within a public or private building with 2 or more floors and the polling room is located on the ground floor, then the markers shall be placed 100 horizontal feet from each entrance to the polling room used by voters to engage in voting.
If the polling room is located in a public or private building with 2 or more floors and the polling room is located on a floor above or below the ground floor, then the SB0080 Engrossed - 3 - LRB096 03305 JAM 13323 b markers shall be placed a distance of 100 feet from the nearest elevator or staircase used by voters on the ground floor to access the floor where the polling room is located.
The area within where the markers are placed shall be known as a campaign free zone, and electioneering is prohibited pursuant to this subsection.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, a church or private school may choose to apply the campaign free zone to its entire property, and, if so, the markers shall be placed near the boundaries on the grounds adjacent to the thoroughfares or walkways leading to the entrances used by the voters.
At or near the door of each polling place, the election judges shall place signage indicating the proper entrance to the polling place.
In addition, the election judges shall ensure that a sign identifying the location of the polling place is placed on a nearby public roadway.
The State Board of Elections shall establish guidelines for the placement of polling place signage.
The area on polling place property beyond the campaign free zone, whether publicly or privately owned, is a public forum for the time that the polls are open on an election day.

A person shall have the right to congregate and engage in electioneering on any polling place property while the polls are open beyond the campaign free zone, except for including but not limited to, SB0080 Engrossed - 4 - LRB096 03305 JAM 13323 b the placement of temporary signs.
This subsection shall be construed liberally in favor of persons engaging in electioneering on all polling place property beyond the campaign free zone for the time that the polls are open on an election day.
Nothing in this Section shall prohibit the placement of temporary signs within a private dwelling in a public or private building where a polling place is located.
Nothing in this Section shall prohibit the placement of temporary signs on the doors or windows of a private dwelling in a public or private building where a polling place is located so long as that private dwelling is located on a different floor than the polling room or that private dwelling is located a distance of at least 100 horizontal feet from each entrance to the polling room if the private dwelling and polling room are located on the same floor.
(d) The regulation of electioneering on polling place property on an election day, including but not limited to the placement of temporary signs, is an exclusive power and function of the State.
A home rule unit may not regulate electioneering and any ordinance or local law contrary to subsection (c) is declared void.
This is a denial and limitation of home rule powers and functions under subsection (h) of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution.
