The bill also requires the local electoral boards to provide to the Department of Elections within 14 days after the election the list of persons who voted, including those who voted provisionally and were determined to be entitled to vote. Current law requires the list be submitted within 60 days. The bill also contains technical amendments to reflect the administrative reorganization of the Department of Elections that took effect July 1, 2014.
