Illinois Election Law Changes

3/4/2021

 
A message and call to action from the Illinois League of Women Voters (LWVIL). 
Picture
Changes to election laws that were put in place for Covid protection helped drive voter turnout to record levels in November. However, many of them expired at year’s end. These temporary changes represent great strides in protecting and expanding equitable voter access and LWVIL strongly supports legislation that would make them permanent. 

LWVIL sent letters to key legislative leaders this week in support of election law changes we would like to see the Illinois General Assembly approve this spring. Among them:
  • Make Election Day a state holiday
  • Broader statewide dates and times for early voting
  • Drop boxes and collection sites for vote by mail ballots
  • Supersites for early voting and use on election day
  • Allow establishment of permanent vote by mail list  
Contact your legislators to express support for election law changes that will make it easier for you to vote your voice. ​
This message and other News You Can Use are available online from the LWVIL.
