SECTION 11-302
Special ballots for board of election employees
Election (ELN) CHAPTER 17, ARTICLE 11, TITLE 3
§ 11-302. Special ballots for board of election employees. A person
who is an employee of the board of elections or who has been appointed
to serve as an inspector of elections, poll clerk or election
coordinator at a polling place other than the one at which he or she is
registered to vote, may deliver to the inspectors of election of the
election district in which he or she is registered, or to the board of
elections, at any time during the period in which an application for an
absentee ballot may be so delivered pursuant to the provisions of this
chapter, a written statement that he or she will be unable to appear at
the polling place for such election district on the day of an election
because his or her duties as an employee of such board or as an
inspector, poll clerk or election coordinator require him or her to be
elsewhere. The board of elections shall provide such voter a special
ballot any time prior to the close of the polls on election day,
provided however that the distribution of such ballots to such voters
shall be timed to afford such voters sufficient time to cast such
ballots prior to the close of the polls on election day. Such cast
ballots may be delivered to an office of such board of elections or to
any board of inspectors not later than the close of the polls on
election day. Such ballots shall be retained at the board of elections
and cast and canvassed pursuant to the provisions of section 9-209 of
this chapter.
