Illinois Administrative Code › Title 26 - ELECTIONS › Part 219 - PROCEDURES FOR IMPLEMENTING THE ELECTRONIC CANVASS › Section 219.30 - File Specification and Export Procedures

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) GEMS Tabulation Software. Jurisdictions
			 must prepare a standard text file export to be uploaded to the eCanvass system
			 with the following settings:
1) Label: A
			 jurisdiction may name this export whatever it likes, as long as it will be
			 recognized as the SBEL export;
2)
			 County Code: Enter the jurisdiction name;
3) Field Delimiter: ~ (located in the top
			 left corner of most keyboards) NOTE: Make certain that, when this character is
			 entered in the appropriate box, no space remains in front of the character.
			 GEMS has a space in the text field by default and it needs to be deleted before
			 entering ~ into the box;
4) Quote
			 strings should NOT be checked;
5)
			 Export Results for: All boxes should be checked;
6) Reporting Set: All races;
7) Row Definitions: All boxes should be
			 checked;
8) Column Definitions: All
			 boxes should be checked.
NOTE: If the jurisdiction has set up an administrative precinct
				for President/Vice President only ballots, a memory card must be created for
				this precinct. It must be downloaded and closed even if it only has zero totals
				and must be uploaded to GEMS in order to generate the same statistics as the
				other precincts in the database. The President/Vice President only precinct
				should be treated like all other precincts in the Presidential General
				Election.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 26 - ELECTIONS › Part 219 - PROCEDURES FOR IMPLEMENTING THE ELECTRONIC CANVASS › Section 219.40 - New System Requirements

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
In order to facilitate accurate calculations for signature
				requirements, it is necessary to have ballot style level data from within each
				precinct. When precincts are split, there is no way to accurately attribute the
				portion of ballots cast within one district from those cast in a different
				district within the same precinct. Therefore, when a new system is certified in
				this State, in addition to this Part, the new system must meet the following
				requirements prior to being tested for certification in Illinois:
a) System must be able to generate election
			 results/data for all elections in the preferred Appendix A (Illinois eCanvass
			 File Format).
b) System must be
			 able to provide votes by each ballot style from within each precinct (records
			 will be in the vote file).
c)
			 System must provide ballots cast for contests in which no candidate has filed.
			 This is most common in primaries in which there are no candidates that file for
			 a given established party. Under these circumstances, the number of times that
			 the contest was on a ballot that was voted should be reported as a blank ballot
			 for that contest. (In the vote file, the 4th field
			 for this record shall be labeled as "9999997".)

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a)
				The Director of IEMA shall annually determine the amount of funding available
				for the EMA grant program prior to the award of any grants, based on the level
				of funding provided by FEMA. Such amount shall be allocated annually to EMA
				grantees by IEMA up to 50 percent of the grantee's political subdivision's
				eligible EMA expenses, in accordance with the requirements of this
				Section.
b) To assist ESDAs in
				accomplishing the basic preparedness requirements of the Act (ESDA
				coordinators' organization, administration, training, and operation of the ESDA
				and ESDA development and exercise of the EOP, exclusive of contractor fees),
				the following EMA fund allocations shall be made:
1) Basic Amount. A basic amount of funding,
				as established annually by the Director of IEMA not to exceed 40 percent of the
				total annual amount available for the EMA grant program determined pursuant to
				subsection (a), shall annually be allocated equally among all EMA grantees.
				However, if a grantee's Basic Amount allocation exceeds the amount requested in
				the grantee's EMA application, the EMA application amount shall be used as the
				Basic Amount allocation for that grantee.
2) Population Share. 50 percent of the total
				EMA grant amount remaining, after the final allocations in subsection (b)(1)
				have been made, shall annually be allocated among all EMA grantees who have
				requested an eligible grant amount in excess of the Basic Amount allocation, on
				a per capita basis according to the most recent census data available through
				the Illinois Secretary of State's office or, if unavailable, through the U.S.
				Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census. EMA grantees whose geographic
				borders encompass another EMA grantee's jurisdiction shall have their per
				capita figures reduced accordingly. If a grantee's Basic Amount allocation plus
				Population allocation exceeds the total amount requested in the grantee's EMA
				application, the EMA application amount shall be used as the final allocation
				for that grantee.
