Bill > SB2239

This bill amends the Illinois Election Code to modify same-day voter registration procedures. Specifically, if a person chooses to register to vote on election day, they will only be allowed to cast a provisional ballot. The election authority will then mail a voter registration application to the address provided by the voter. To have their provisional ballot counted, the voter must complete and return the mailed voter registration application within 14 days after the election. This change aims to maintain election integrity by requiring additional verification for voters who register on the same day they vote, while still providing a pathway for eligible voters to participate in the electoral process. The bill updates several sections of the Election Code to implement this new procedure, ensuring that same-day registrants can vote provisionally and have their votes counted if they follow the new registration confirmation process.
