  The county clerk of any county that satisfies the criteria specified in section 1-5-905 (1) shall, in coordination with the secretary of state, create a minority language sample ballot in any minority language spoken in the county that satisfies the following:   The minority language is spoken by at least two thousand citizens in the county age eighteen years or older who speak English less than very well, as defined by the United States bureau of the census American community survey, and who speak the minority language at home; or    The minority language is spoken by at least two and one-half percent of citizens in the county age eighteen years or older who speak English less than very well, as defined by the United States bureau of the census American community survey, and who speak the minority language at home.       The minority language sample ballot must include all of the same content that is on the English language ballot.    A county clerk that is required to create a minority language sample ballot in one or more minority languages pursuant to this section shall provide such minority language sample ballots for the general election held in November 2022, and for each general election and statewide odd-year election thereafter.    The minority language sample ballot must include the instructions for every ballot style in the county. The county clerk is not required to create a sample ballot for every ballot style in the county but may instead create one master document containing all the candidates, questions, and instructions included on every ballot style in the county. Instead of creating one master document, the county clerk may choose to create a minority language sample ballot for each ballot style in the county.    The county clerk shall make the minority language sample ballot available and accessible to electors in the county on the website of the county clerk and at voter service and polling centers county-wide. The county clerk shall notify all electors in the county via the mail ballot packet and in each language in which a minority language sample ballot will be created that a minority language sample ballot is available.    A county clerk shall ensure that the translation provided for the minority language sample ballot is performed by one or more qualified translators.     History.

  Eligible electors may cast a write-in vote for a candidate who has filed an affidavit of intent of write-in candidacy pursuant to section 1-4-1101 by writing the name of the person in the blank space provided for write-in candidates on the ballot. Each write-in vote may include a reasonably correct spelling of a given name, an initial or nickname, or both a given name and an initial or nickname, and shall include the last name of the person for whom the vote is intended.

The designated election official shall make a list of eligible write-in candidates and provide the list to the election judges. The order of the write-in candidates on such list may be determined by the time of filing the affidavit pursuant to section 1-4-1101.

Upon request of an eligible elector, an election judge may display to the requesting elector the list of eligible write-in candidates provided to the judges by the designated election official. The list shall not be posted nor may the list be taken into a voting booth.    A designated election official may post the list of eligible write-in candidates on the official website of the designated election official.         History.
