AI Summary
This bill mandates that by January 1, 2028, the State Board of Elections must create an additional option within the existing online voter registration system. This new option will allow individuals who are eligible to vote and possess a social security number, but do not have an Illinois driver's license or State identification card, to register to vote or update their registration by uploading a completed voter registration form. The bill also outlines procedures for county clerks or boards of election commissioners to process these online registration forms, ensuring that the State Board of Elections forwards the applications and any additional relevant data to the appropriate local election officials within two days of receipt, and that these officials will accept and process these forms, potentially adopting their own procedures for doing so.
