Bill > SB4199

This bill establishes the "One Hundred Percent Citizen Participation in Elections Task Force Act" to create a task force dedicated to studying and reporting on strategies for achieving 100% citizen participation in elections in Illinois by November 2030. The task force will investigate methods to increase civic engagement, examine how other countries with mandatory voting policies operate, and assess the administrative, fiscal, and legal considerations for Illinois, including the needs of local election officials. The task force will consist of appointed members from the General Assembly, state government, and representatives from various advocacy groups, and it is mandated to submit interim and final reports with recommendations, including potential legislative proposals, before its repeal on January 1, 2030.
