Requires that when a voter is notified that he or she has under-voted the ballot for a statewide constitutional office, the voting equipment shall indicate that under-vote only to the voter. Provides that an election authority may seek an exemption from the State Board of Elections for equipment that does not meet the under-vote notification requirement. Requires that all election authorities have voting systems that meet the requirement by the 2014 general primary election. Effective immediately.</SynopsisText></synopsis>
