Chapter 8 — Provisional Ballot

2. Before the Provisional Voter Leaves the Polling Place.

A poll watcher should make sure that no voter who votes a provisional ballot leaves the polling place without:

• A copy of their provisional ballot affidavit.
• Precise, written instruction on what, if anything, the voter needs to do to ensure the provisional ballot is counted.
• Instructions that additional information, if needed, can be submitted to the election authority by end of business 7 (seven) days after of the election.
• The name and location — including room number — of that election authority.
• Instructions on how to access the Illinois Board of Elections Provisional Voting Verification System website to ascertain whether the provisional vote was counted in the official canvass of votes for that election and, if the vote was not counted, the reason that the vote was not counted.
