Illinois HB0020 mandates that appointees to fill U.S. Senate vacancies must align with the vacating senator's political party.
Illinois HB0020 amends the Election Code to require that any person appointed to fill a vacancy in the United States Senate must be affiliated with the same political party as the vacating senator if the vacating senator was elected as a member of an established political party. The appointee must establish their political party affiliation through their voting record in party primary elections or by holding or having held an office in a political party organization before appointment. This change takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
