§ 2-25.

Determinations and data publication by the State Board of Elections. (a) For each person included in a report received under Sections 2-10 and 2-15, the State Board of Elections shall determine the geographic units for which population counts are reported in the federal decennial census that contain the facility of incarceration and the legal residence as listed according to the report. (b) For each person included in a report received under Sections 2-10 and 2-15, if the legal residence is known and in this State, the State Board of Elections shall: (1) ensure that the person is not represented in any population counts reported by the State Board of Elections for the geographic units that include the facility where the person was incarcerated, unless that geographic unit also includes the person's legal residence; and (2) ensure that any population counts reported by the State Board of Elections reflect the person's residential address as reported under Sections 2-10 and 2-15. (c) For each person included in a report received under Sections 2-10 and 2-15 for whom a legal residence is unknown or not in this State and for all persons reported in the census as residing in a federal correctional facility for whom a report was not provided, the State Board of Elections shall: (1) ensure that the person is not represented in any population counts reported by the State Board of Elections for the geographic units that include the facility where the person was incarcerated; and (2) allocate the person to a State unit not tied to a specific determined geographic location, as other State residents with unknown State addresses are allocated. (d) The data prepared by the State Board of Elections pursuant to this Section shall be completed and published no later than 30 days after the date that federal decennial census data required to be published by Public Law 94-171 is published for the State of Illinois.
