If you are voting with a provisional ballot in Illinois on November 5th, there are several important points to consider. Provisional ballots are used when there is some question about a voter's eligibility. This could happen if the voter’s name does not appear on the electoral roll or if they do not have the required identification at the polling place.

In Illinois, voters who cast provisional ballots will have their votes counted once election officials verify their eligibility. It is crucial for voters to follow up and ensure that any outstanding issues related to their registration or identification are resolved promptly after Election Day.

Voters can check the status of their provisional ballot by contacting local election authorities. This step ensures that all eligible votes are counted accurately and contributes to maintaining the integrity of the electoral process.
