Section 11-302. Special ballots for board of election employees

A person
  who is an employee of the board of elections or who has  been  appointed
  to   serve  as  an  inspector  of  elections,  poll  clerk  or  election
  coordinator at a polling place other than the one at which he or she  is
  registered  to  vote,  may  deliver to the inspectors of election of the
  election district in which he or she is registered, or to the  board  of
  elections,  at any time during the period in which an application for an
  absentee ballot may be so delivered pursuant to the provisions  of  this
  chapter,  a written statement that he or she will be unable to appear at
  the polling place for such election district on the day of  an  election
  because  his  or  her  duties  as  an  employee  of  such board or as an
  inspector, poll clerk or election coordinator require him or her  to  be
  elsewhere.  The  board  of  elections shall provide such voter a special
  ballot not earlier than two weeks before the election and not later than
  the close of the polls  on  election  day.  Such  cast  ballots  may  be
  delivered  to  an  office  of such board of elections or to any board of
  inspectors not later than the close of the polls on election  day.  Such
  ballots  may  be  delivered  to the inspectors of election in the manner
  prescribed by this chapter for absentee ballots or retained at the board
  of elections and cast  and  canvassed  pursuant  to  the  provisions  of
  section  9-209  of  this chapter as such board shall, in its discretion,
  determine by resolution adopted at least  thirty  days  before  election
  day.
