SB1324 amends the Illinois Election Code to allow schools and public buildings to be used as polling places, with provisions for alternative.
SB1324 amends the Illinois Election Code to allow the board of election commissioners to use schools and other public buildings as polling places, provided they are convenient and available. If a school district demonstrates that using a school as a polling place would interfere with scheduled programming or pose a threat to safety, the school district and the election authority must work together to find an alternative location. If they cannot agree on an alternative, they must submit a report to the Board of County Commissioners, which will then determine a location as soon as practicable.
