Bill Title: Amends the Election Code. Provides that, if at least 5,000 voting-age citizens of a municipality are members of a single minority group and are limited-English proficient, and the 5,000 voting-age citizens constitute at least 5 percent of the voting-age citizens of that municipality, as determined by the United States Bureau of the Census by use of the most recent American Community Survey data available before the ballots for an election are certified by the State Board of Elections, then the election authority with jurisdiction of that municipality shall make a sufficient number of ballots in the language spoken by that single minority group available to voters of that municipality. Provides that, if a municipality lies within 2 or more counties and does not have a board of election commissioners that is coterminous with its borders, then each election authority shall provide the non-English ballots for the precincts in that municipality lying within the election authority's jurisdiction. Provides that the State Board of Elections shall adopt any rules necessary for the implementation of these provisions.
