AI Summary

  • Amends the Illinois Election Code to require candidate names on primary election ballots be printed in standard capital and lowercase letters (e.g., "John Smith") rather than all capital letters

  • Applies the mixed-case formatting requirement to conform with standard English language guidelines for proper name capitalization

  • Includes an exception allowing election authorities to continue using all capital letters if their election system cannot feasibly accommodate mixed-case formatting

  • Changes only the formatting of candidate names; office titles and ballot designations (like "REPUBLICAN PRIMARY BALLOT") remain in capital letters
