SECTION 230:35-5-113.2. Determining voter's school district or municipality
Latest version.
- (a) The school district in which a voter is eligible to vote is listed in the column labeled "School" in the Precinct Registry. The technology center district in which the voter is eligible to vote is listed in the column labeled "TC." The Judge refers to the Ballot Codes List provided by the Secretary and writes the appropriate school district and technology center school district codes in the "Ballot Issued" column in the Precinct Registry and tells the Clerk the elections in which the voter is voting.(b) The municipality in which a voter is eligible to vote is listed in the column labeled "Muni" in the Precinct Registry. If the word "None" appears in the "Muni" column, the voter does not reside within the boundaries of a municipality and is not eligible to receive a municipal ballot. If the municipality nominates and elects its officers by ward, the municipal code in the "Muni" column will include a numeral to indicate the ward number to which the voter's residence is assigned. The Judge writes the municipal code and the appropriate municipal ballot codes in the "Ballot Issued" column in the Precinct Registry and tells the Clerk the elections in which the voter is voting.(c) The "School" "TC," and/or the "Muni" column in the Precinct Registry is blank for some voters. The Judge follows these steps when the voter's school district or municipal code is not indicated.(1) Show the voter the precinct school district or municipal map.(2) Ask the voter to find his residence on the map and to determine from the map the school district and/or municipality in which he or she lives.(3) If a technology center school district also is holding an election in the precinct, determine the corresponding technology center district from the information in the legend on the map.(4) If the municipality is holding an election in one or more wards, ask the voter also to determine from the municipal map the ward in which he or she lives.(5) Tell the voter to sign the Precinct Registry.(6) Write the school district, technology center district, and/or municipal ballot codes in the "Ballot Issued" column.(7) Tell the Clerk the elections in which the voter is voting.(8) Return to the routine procedure.(d) If a voter tells you that the school district, technology center district, or municipality indicated in the Precinct Registry is incorrect, the Judge follows these steps.(1) Show the voter the school district or municipal map for the precinct.(2) Ask the voter to find his residence on the map and to determine from the map the school district, technology center district, or municipality in which he or she lives.(3) If the voter says that the map is incorrect, the voter is entitled to cast a provisional ballot. Fill out a Provisional Ballot Voucher indicating the school district, technology center district, or municipality in which the voter claims to reside and tell the voter to take it to the Inspector or the Provisional Voting Officer.
