SB1532

ELEC CD-EARLY VOTING LINE

Introduced·2/4/25
Introduced Text

Illinois SB1532 allows voters in line at early voting polling places to cast their ballots even if the polling place closes.

Illinois SB1532 amends the Election Code to ensure that any voter who is in line to vote at the time an early voting polling place closes is allowed to cast their ballot. This provision aims to protect the voting rights of individuals who are waiting in line when polling places are required to close, such as due to severe weather or other emergencies. The bill does not alter the existing hours or periods for early voting but ensures continuity of service for those already in line.
