SUMMARY:

Elections; duties and powers of general registrars; pollbooks. Modifies the provisions on retention of registered voter lists by the general registrar. There are duplicate lists which serve as the pollbooks for an election. One set is held by the clerk of the circuit court after the election and delivered by him to the general registrar after the time for a recount or contest has expired. The general registrar is required to retain this set for five years after the election date. The other set is sent to the State Board of Elections for voter credit purposes and then returned by the State Board to the general registrar to be retained by him for four years. The bill permits the general registrar to destroy the set returned by the State Board two years after a federal election and one year after other elections.
