When you vote at the Primary Election, you must ask for a specific party's ballot.
Later, the records will show that you selected that party's ballot.
These election records are public.

Yes - See 10 ILCS 5/7-41

Generally, you can display whatever you have on election day, provided that you remain outside of the boundaries (50 feet? It is marked by the election Judges).

What can I do to help next time?

Suggest they contact the league of women voters or a civil rights group. It may be they hadn't registered, or were at the wrong poling place etc.

The county clerk should give you a voter ID card.
That is what you need.
Otherwise, usually they will accept any form of picture ID.
The Secretary of State issues State ID cards.

I'd talk to the County Clerk, unless you think that's the source of the fraud. Perhaps then turn to your State's Attorney. If you don't get any traction, you might raise the issue with the chairman of the county party adversely impacted by the fraud. They may be able to get more... View More 
Can they get in trouble for this?
answered on Sep 12, 2017
Yes they can get in trouble.
Theft, trespass.
Usual trouble is in catching them in the act.

I don't see why not. I'm unaware of any fire chief being an elected position, and so there is no conflict by holding two different elected positions. More importantly, in most cases, the school district (and its board) is a separate and distinct entity from the local government. It's... View More
We have video of this occurring in June special election and we were told it is legal which I find hard to believe.

Whenever there is a primary election the voter can request the ballot of any of the parties.
The precinct workers know which ballot you requested in the past, which is public information.
There is no reason they... View More
registered?
answered on Jul 10, 2017
The local precinct computer is tied to county clerk's computer.
If it shows you are not registered, then you aren't.
Some people think they are registered but aren't because all proper steps were not taken to get registered.
answered on Jun 17, 2017
Yes, but I'm guessing your question relates to such things as whether the candidate will remain on the ballot.

Call the County Clerk Elections Division about the number of feet you have to be away from the polling place.
